Memorial honors victims of Indiana State Fair stage collapse

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A memorial to the seven people who died in the Indiana State Fair stage collapse is now in place.

The plaque honoring the victims was unveiled during a ceremony Thursday morning.

Forty other people were hurt last August when the rigging toppled just before a Sugarland concert.

The Indiana State Fair Commission has unanimously approved an emergency management plan.

It calls for the chief operations officer to decide whether to postpone or cancel events.

There are reports fair officials were confused over who had that authority before the collapse.
