Vigil Remembers 30th Anniversary of Who Concert Tragedy

by Administrator 3. December 2009 06:46

A vigil is being organized tonight in Cincinnati to remember the 11 people who were crushed to death 30 years ago at a concert by legendary rock band the Who.  The people were crushed to death as a crowd surged into Riverfront Stadium to get good seats for the event.  The tragic event largely ended the practice of festival seating at large concerts - that is, open, unassigned seating.

The vigil will begin at 6:30 on the West Plaza in U.S. Bank Arena.  Speakers will include witnesses and relatives of the victims of the tragedy.

Second Crash Likely to Play a Part in Sentencing

by Administrator 15. October 2009 02:14

According to the Chillicothe Gazette, a July traffic accident is likely to play a part in the sentencing of a man convicted of vehicular manslaughter due to a previous accident.  The 20-year-old man was found guilty of driving negligently and without a license, which resulted in the accident which fatally injured a 36-year-old woman.  The prosecuting attorney pointed out that the July incident involved the underaged man blowing a 0.129 on a blood-alcohol test, saying that it showed the driver constituted a serious risk to society.
