The debris that did damage went over the top... maybe baseball-like netting over the entire crowd would help that?

Prayers out to those injured for a quick recovery.

Correct. But we can have an engine sitting up where that engine ended up because that's a walk way where people are. It's really amazing nobody was killed.
