13 WTHR: State investigators say Eyewitness News video could shed light into the stage rigging collapse that killed two workers and five others at the Indiana State Fair.
The news comes as the State Fair Commission met with board members for the first time since the tragedy. There are new efforts to review the staff's emergency response, and an embattled director's charge for 2012.

It is not that surprising they are getting a second or third opinion about why did it collapse and things that they could have done to make it possible for less people being at risk. In my opinion the US government should be looking more into this and make more safety laws so that these type of events do happen as much. These collapses will still happen because there is always the people pushing the limits of the technology. It seems like this collapse is one of the biggest in the news that I can remember. It seems like you don’t hear about the arena collapse nearly as much. I hope that they find out what they need to to make the industry safer.
I agree with Robert that it is not surprising many individuals and different groups are taking a look into the incident that occurred. I do not feel that the US government needs to look into this event. The US government should be concerned with larger issues. Although this was a catastrophic event, leaving this issue to the State government since it occurred in Indiana would be a better idea. The industry can learn from the event and other individuals can look at the finding the specific committees bring into light without the involvement of the federal government.
It makes sense that the state is looking further into this tragic event, and trying to find out what could have been done differently. However, taking it beyond the state level, as the other AJ noted, wouldn't be helpful. I think this is something that the state needs to look at (since it was at the state fair), and that people around the industry need to look at and learn from it so that something like this can be prevented in the future
