#1 BELVIDERE, Ill. (WIFR) - April 21, 1967 is a day that many will never forget as one of the deadliest tornadoes in Illinois history occurred. 24 people died including 13 children.

#2 The Belvidere Apollo Theater sold-out concert began at 7 p.m. 'Death Metal' bands Morbid Angel, Revocation, and Skeletal Remains were on the bill at the venue. The collapse happened about 30 minutes into the concert.

It's weird that the grandchildren of the Belvidere High School kids that experienced the '67 tornado might have been in the Apollo audience last Friday.

Both were tragedies.
