More like was blown over. I can't believe they went on with the "show" in the first place.

I was inadvertently part of one of these in Tlaquepaque in April, before the eclipse. No idea it was happening. Big stage, presidential candidate plus governor. No wind that day. Lots of people. Seemed like a good time.
