Drag racing wagons bring the house down.

Drag racing wagons bring the house down.

We’ve seen many incidents where spectators got injured or even died when watching some events in close counters. Spectators got killed by rally cars, or ramps that collapsed, are not common. But still we cannot just ignore the fact that they do happen at times where you least expect. According to The Daily Telegraph, over 100 spectators watching a race were injured in Brazil when a section of bleachers collapsed in a local drag race event.

Around 500 spectators were observing at a drag race in the Brazilian city of Quatro Pontes when the structure gave way and tumbled down, along with all the people on it. Six people were immediately taken to the hospital as a result of injuries sustained in the incident, and two of those are still in critical condition. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, though structural faults are believed to have been the cause. Check out the horrible incident’s video after the jump, but might not be that pleasing for some to view though.
