    That was bad….no reaction time at all for anyone to react.
    At least no one was killed.

    This must be the Brazilian version of the wave.

      Last time I checked they did and they were put into jail just like others who enter that nation illegally. Strange that USA seems to be in the minority about avoiding that.

      Well, well… I’m a brazilian and I can tell you this:

      First… this video cannot be viewed from Brasil (sounds like fairness douctrine?)…

      Second… we don’t have illegal mexicans imigrants around here… the actual government already gave amnesty to everybody (nobody is illegal anymore)… now the gov. is starting to “not ask for visas” from many countries… (sounds like your government is trying to do?)

      Third… if you really want to see what USA will become with this Obama stuff being approved? Just take a look at Brasil’s last 20 years history… (exactly the same steps that took 20y to got approved around here is being approved in just 2 in USA…)

      Resuming: when the gov. start taking people’s money and starts decinding where this money should go… you can see that EVERYTHING starts to fall apart… including things that thoes not have anything to do with the gov itself (this does not include the government, of course, that always become bigger and stronger)

    I really hope this doesn’t end up a case of someone forgetting to put in locking pins or something of that nature. Or lack of inspection on the stands to ensure they are safe. There are lots of things to cause something like this. Hopefully all of the injuries are minor but they don’t go into enough detail only that some people are still hospitalized. Please let no one die from this.
