Indiana State Fair Hires Engineering Firm for Probe of Stage Collapse

WSJ.com: The Indiana State Fair on Tuesday said it has hired an engineering firm to investigate why a stage was toppled by fierce winds Saturday night, killing five people and injuring dozens.
The investigation will be run by Scott Nacheman, who heads the Chicago office of Thornton Tomasetti Inc., an international engineering firm that has worked on projects in 42 countries.
Thornton Tomasetti was involved in investigating the collapse of the World Trade Center towers after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the 2007 Interstate 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis that killed 13 people.
