A 79-year-old woman remains in stable but critical condition Tuesday in University Hospital, injured in the collapse Saturday of a section of bleacher seating at the Kendall County Fair.

Chaos ensued as fairgoers rushed to aid the victims and lift the steel girders free of those trapped underneath.
