Storm in Camrose, Alberta, Canada at the world famous country festival “Big Valley Jamboree 2009″ (near Edmonton, Alberta) causes destruction and collapse of main stage. An estimated 20000 people were attending and camping out at this concert event when the incident happened. Billy Currington was just leaving the stage when it collapsed, causing one person to die, and dozens to be injured. This is the official press briefing describing the incident, along with a heartfelt message from the concert organizer. Kevin Costner’s band was about to go on stage when this incident happened.

Have you attended?
I’m not sure about this being a country Music Festival, it is more of a nude show, with people running around, drunk and having their private parts hanging out, lots of room for improvments
i can only agree
No one is at fault in this situation mother nature cannot be controlled.We spotted this storm coming in from the west and I knew it was gonna be a bad one.
Why did’nt the Country SUPER Stars Stop The wind
then show some compasion for the dead and injuried
I volunteer at an orphanage in my spare time.
well, at least this wasn’t during the week of capital ex where the storm was more severe. here east of edmonton, it wasn’t that bad, just a lot of wind.
karma dude….go see fema camps
you might be the first one in there.
learn some humility cause some sad shit is about to go down
You don’t make any sense. The video was coverage of results of a storm, and regrets after a woman was killed. What does that have to do with Americans? So we all want to be Americans eh? I’m marrying an American and there’s no way he would agree with your ignorant statement. Hahaha you’re silly.
you ahole. you are an absolute jerk. when some one dies it is a GREAT LOSS and misfortune. the fuckin person your talking about is a human being not a FUCKER. my only wish is that it had been you there instead of that person. you are the most ingorent disrespectfull person EVER.
I was camping about 15 mins away at Cow Lake when the storm hit my camp and a tree fell on a little girl in her tent and pinned her under the tree it broke her back.
sry i meant to say as
i was there ….. i left BVJ as soon ass it got crappy out..which was about 5 mins. before this happened
Wow. Happy I went last year and not this year. That would be some scary shit.
News came in recently that Environment Canada notified them of a possible storm at 6:05.
That was minutes after the stage was already destroyed!
Oh my God, I am so so sorry. *hugs*
My sincere condolences.

I’m feeling really bad right now for the manager of the Jam and for the family of the deceased. It’s so tough watching this great man just barely keeping it together. It must be really super tough for him knowing that he could have been there faster, gotten the warning out sooner etc. But, I don’t blame him one bit for the one person who died, all things considering.
