i took that and wrapped it around her arm and created a tourniquet. pulled as tight as i could. wood calls for more help. we need a medic really bad for this little girl! right here! right here! where s a doctor? i just gave her my shirt for a tourniquet. i m a doctor! we got a doctor! watch out! we got a doctor! dr. robert klinestibar, a pulmonary and critical care specialist who s at the concert with his family immediately starts stabilizing maggie s arm. it s been less than two minutes since the stage fell. david wood s phone is still recording the scene as he turns to help another young man. and prayter stays with maggie. at that point, her mom said, you have to get her out of here. because of her broken leg, magjars can t move. so i handed my injured daughter over to a perfect
the collapse. now he heads back into the wreckage. he doesn t realize he s capturing the chaotic scene on his iphone. i took my phone out initially to film their equipment on the stage moving back and forth. i still had it in my hand when i was climbing back in. oh, my god! oh, my god! after climbing through the metal bars, he sees magjars and her daughter maggie. stay still! stay still! are you guys okay? can you crawl out? prayter, who s a registered nurse, also comes rushing in to help, as stunned bystanders help prop up the rigging. i looked at her arm and it was badly injured. i was afraid that she had possibly severed an artery. and i knew she had lost a lot of blood. at that point i was calling out for a tourniquet. whether he hears prayter or not, david wood repeats the call. we need a tourniquet! wood doesn t waste a second. he takes his shirt off and drops it in maggie s lap.
were just pushing. my husband kept yelling stay standing. stay standing. afraid we were going to get trampled. from the grand stand, concertgoers watch in horror as the stage comes crashing down right on to the crowd. prater and her husband find themselves just feet from the wreckage. but laura magjars and maggie are caught inside a maze of metal beams and wires. after momentarily blacking out, magjars comes to and sees that her leg is broken and maggie s arm is severely injured. all i saw was blood pouring out all over, so i held her as close to me as i could and screamed for help for my daughter. machinist david wood was near the stage earlier but made it out of the area seconds before
daughter over to a perfect stranger, but i knew i had no choice. prayter and others carry the girl out of the wreckage and on to the hospital. she s treated for a severe laceration to her arm and leg wound. luckily her artery isn t severed. magjars suffers multiple fractures to her leg. she s later reunited with her family at the hospital. at the fairgrounds, people continue to work to free the trapped and injured and secure the wreckage. in all, seven people are killed by the falling stage. more than 40 are injured. at home in northwestern indiana, maggie and her mom spend months recovering from their injuries. we were very lucky. i mean, even with our injuries and as scared as everybody was, i mean, we were actually some of the lucky ones. magjars says she s incredibly thankful for prayter and wood and all the others who rushed in
