Roof collapse kills one man, injures dozens of others in Belvidere
After powerful storms collapsed a roof during a concert near Rockford, killing one man, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency shared photos from inside the Apollo Theater. They show a heap of bricks, wood and debris in front of the stage. All that debris fell on dozens of people trying to stake out a spot for the show. Emergency managers believe it was a tornado that touched down in Belvidere and did this to the Apollo Theater. One person was killed and dozens were hurt.
"I mean, not many people can say they survived a tornado at a death metal concert, but I guess I can now," said Johnson. "I was able to look out the door from the inside, and I could see the tornado coming directly at us," said Cooper. "Everybody kind of like, they came together, and they were trying to lift the roof off people," said Johnson."It just sucks to see it destroyed."
