Then they showed the grandstands being built for the U-2 concert Moncton. Now I don't intend to go but if I did I would have second thoughts before climbing on! |

Just three people with minor injuries, including Cheap Trick's truck driver. From the video footage I've seen on the news and the reports I've read, including a couple by Ottawa friends who were there, it was pretty miraculous that there weren't a lot more people injured or even killed. |
