Dallas Cowboy''s practice facility collapses!

The practice facility collapsed yesterday during a storm. Apparently it was NOT a tornado, but rather very strong straight line winds. 12 people were injured... So scary!!

Yes, I heard this earlier today by Melissa Rycroft ( "The Bachelor", DWTS). She was a Cowboys cheerleader..very scary incident indeed!

I''ve been in one of these structures before when I played volleyball - a weekend long tournament in one of these is kind of freaky. It was mainly supported by the air pressure inside and some stabilizing metal. It''s a sad thing that people were hurt in this.

Here''s a video that includes footage from inside as well as some aerial views: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4132947

And this is the original footage, sent to the station right after it happened - check out the lights swinging inside before it fell - at least they had the stairwells nearby to get under: http://www.sportsrubbish.com/2009/05/03/football/nfl/dallas-cowboys-practice-facility-collapse-video/

We (DH and I) were driving close by about the time it happened. It may have been downdraft winds, but the clouds overhead were definitely worth being concerned about. We certainly were.
