(NOTE: Strong language in video below) The stage caught on fire during Rihannas concert in Dallas over the weekend. Sparks flew and smoke loomed as a packed American Airlines Center was ushered off. No injuries were reported. The accident seemed to be the result of the show's elaborate pyrotechnics.
The crew quickly came in to put out the fire, with Dallas firefighters following shortly thereafter to survey the scene, according to NBC in Dallas.
