Amateur video from tragic stage collapse (retraction)

EDITOR'S NOTE: Earlier versions of this article contained an embedded YouTube video that purported to show the moment of collapse of the Big Valley Jamboree stage in Camrose, Alberta. We received a number of messages from readers questioning the legitimacy of this footage. A subsequent SooToday.com investigation has found that the video is not what it claims to be. Instead, it appears to depict the collapse of a stage on August 9, 2003 at a Women's Day event in Pretoria, South Africa. As a result, we have removed this footage from our story, replacing it with other amateur videos that appear to be legitimate depictions of the aftermath of the Camrose collapse.

************************* One person is dead and at least two are in critical condition after a concert stage collapsed in high winds last night at the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta.

The deceased has been identified in Monday-morning media reports as 35-year-old Donna Moore, a marketing assistant for the Lloydminster (Saskatchewan) Chamber of Commerce. As many as 70 others are believed to have suffered less severe injuries.

Organizers say a set change was underway just before singer/actor Kevin Costner was to perform with his band, Modern West.

Parts of the collapsed stage fell near Costner and his manager but neither was hurt.

On Sunday, the rest of the jamboree, including a scheduled performance by Tim McGraw, was cancelled.
