From The Miami Herald: ​

"Two workers helping to set up the main stage for the Ultra Music Festival, which begins Friday afternoon in downtown Miami, were critically injured Thursday night when a giant LED screen fell, trapping the men underneath it.

Two of the men suffered what fire rescue officials said were life-threatening injuries, including one with two possibly broken legs.

Two other workers were also struck by the falling equipment; one was in stable condition, and the other was treated at the scene. The seriously injured workers were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital."

Horrible news. I hope that all of the injured crew will ultimately be alright.

According to The Miami Herald, Miami Fire Rescue, the investigators, and OSHA will return to the site first thing this morning to determine the root cause of the accident.

The Ultra Music Festival is set to open as scheduled at 3 pm today.
