A reporter braving a blistering heat wave at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair described chaos at the event as paramedics raced to save attendees, with seven said to be on "advanced life support" in the hospital.
Julian Andreone of Drop Site News was on the ground Friday at the fair detailing what he called a "hectic" scene.
"It really is hectic. It's chaotic. It's a total disaster," Andreone said. "They haven't planned for this at all."
As Andreone recorded the conditions, multiple people ran past carrying cold water to help their loved ones who had fainted. During one 71-second clip, Andreone recorded two people racing past him and an ambulance arriving separately with a siren blaring.
