This is truly a tragedy. 🙁

The Back Story via King 5:
TACOMA, Wash. – It was a sell-out crowd at the Monster Jam monster truck show Saturday at the Tacoma Dome, despite a tragedy the previous evening.
A 6-year-old boy died when a piece from a truck flew into the stands at the show Friday night.
The city of Tacoma reviewed safety procedures and decided that despite the fatal incident, the show would go on.
According to the Tacoma Dome’s Web site, four Monster Jam shows were scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
The event company, Feld Motor Sports, based in Aurora, Illinois, said this type of incident has never happened in the 25-year history of Monster Jam events. They released this statement: “Feld Motor Sports is looking into the accident. The safety of our customers is our top priority.”
Feld puts up safety barriers at both ends of the arena floor. They don’t sell seats in the front rows to keep the audience away from the action.
I don’t think that it would be out of place to request that all my readers offer up a small prayer for this family tonight.
