The attached video shows footage of tonight's Monster National event at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. All was going well with the show, until after intermission and just before the conclusion (we were actually packing up to leave to beat the crowd). Two monster trucks were in the semi-finals of a "racing" event -- meaning they assembled at a starting line, then gunned their engines to see which vehicle could get across a barrier of 4 smashed cars the fastest.
After the short race ended, the trucks were circling back to the holding area, when it seemed that the announcer was stuck by the truck called Samson. We were two rows back from the arena floor, and a barricade obstructed our view so we didn't see the man get hit. The ambulance came quickly and then a shaky-voiced man announced that the show would end. Our prayers are with the injured person, the event drivers and other personnel tonight.

I hope you didn't see much. I am still trying to get the images out of my head.
