A sad incident finally comes to a close.
I wonder if the kids in the structural engineering school got failing grades that semester.
I knew one of the girls killed in the collapse. That was a devastating event. The parents handled it with more grace than I think I could have. God bless them.
Nice to see the frivolous lawsuit tossed.
You can’t kill tradition at TAMU. My son is a freshman there and they STILL do bonfire. The school can have nothing to do with it due to the lawsuits, insurance, etc., but the students organize it themselves. They harvest the wood and build the bonfire on the properties of alumni and other supporters off-campus. They have turned it into a competion with multiple bonfires, teams, judging, etc. My son’s team was a group from his dorm. Due to concerns related to the 1999 collaps they can only do a single tier as opposed to the stacked tiers that you see in the photo but it still makes a geat fire.
