ST. PAUL, Minn. — City inspectors this morning were on the scene of a St. Paul youth circus where bleachers collapsed and sent 450 people tumbling Sunday night.
St. Paul Department of Safety and Inspections officials took a first look at the bleachers at Circus Juventas, and the Parks and Recreation director was also on the scene, said Bob Hume, spokesman for St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman.
About 900 people rose to their feet about 10 p.m. to applaud the end of the show when half of the bleachers collapsed.
