Teen hurt in fall at Swift concert

SEATTLE: A 13-year-old boy at a Taylor Swift concert was hurt when he fell from an upper level of Seattle’s CenturyLink Field.
The Seattle Times reports that the call to the Seattle Fire Department came in six minutes after the 7 p.m. Saturday show was scheduled to begin. He fell from the stadium’s 300 level to the 200 level, but fire spokesman Kyle Moore says he was stable, alert and conscious when medics took him to Harborview Medical Center.
Moore said the boy couldn’t remember what happened to make him fall.
The boy fell in row M, section 236. Concert-goer Misty Winesberry and a friend were seated in section 235, row M.
“It was a miracle. There was absolutely no one sitting in that row yet. They were all late,” Winesberry said.
Winesberry said the opening act came out right after the boy fell.
“All of a sudden I just saw him falling out of the sky,” Winesberry said. “It took a second for my brain to register somebody was falling.”
Winesberry said a panic-like situation ensued, and people were screaming and jumping up.
“It was the worst sound I’ve ever heard in my life,” Winesberry said. “It was awful.”
Two men jumped over the seats to check on the boy, while younger members in the audience were crying.
“I thought he was dead,” Winesberry said. When Winesberry finally did see the boy, she said he looked “completely dazed.”
