FROM SOLT: 
 I've been down front at many a Morbid Angel show. Luckily none of our friends we know who were supposed to be there got hurt. The roof life right across the front of the stage collapsed. The most dedicated are the ones who got hurt. Absolutely awful. If you know any of the people hurt or are one yourself let us know. Take care people. Hope you're all alright.
 
FROM WARFORGED: 
 Our thoughts go out to everyone attending the Morbid Angel show in Belvidere tonight
