Snapshot: ACL On Fire?!

Update: KXAN reports that the fire was the result of a propane tank explosion behind the AT&T stage. Three people were injured, two seriously so.

    "Move away from the towers! Oh, and the brown acid that's circulating over here is not too good. Of course, it's your trip, so be my guest, but do be advised that there is a warning on that one."

    I was watching the ACL action online and noticed the plume of smoke in the distance. Then after a couple songs security interrupted Pete Yorn to ask the crowd to "Move away from the fire." After a few minutes the fire was put out and things resumed.
