Cheap Trick Stage Collapses – Band Unhurt [VIDEO]

Cheap Trick miraculously escaped injury on Sunday (July 17th) when their stage collapsed at a show in Ottawa, Ontario. The band members managed to run from the stage as a gust of extremely high wind toppled the stage backward.

A few minor injuries were reported including the bus driver for the band. Audience members said that skies were threatening at the time, but basically the wind was calm with humid conditions just before the near disaster. It was described as a sudden and very intense burst of wind. The band's manager David Frey said news sources were saying the wind was over 90 miles per hour.

Cheap Trick's equipment was a total loss, and the band was scrambling to put together gear for tonight's scheduled show (July 19th) in Lewiston, New York. Below is an audience shot video of the stage collapsing. It's a miracle there weren't any serious injuries. This is scary. (via RollingStone.com)
