Accident at Cowboys practice facility
 

Just saw Jerry Jones at the Kentucky derby. He said there was some sort of collapse at Cowboys stadium. No fatalities. Hope it stays that way.

It was a tornado that hit the Cowboys practice facilities.

Not the stadium, my bad

Well I am glad no one was hurt. Their new stadium looks silly. (like darth vader's helmet buried in the sand...)

Thank goodness Jones wasn't there. The last thing we need is someone with a clue running Dallas.

Special Teams Coach Joe DeCamillis was taken to the hospital immobilized on a stretcher and a neck brace on. So far no statement from the hospital.

It was a rookie mini-camp in progress when it happened and according to what I heard, there were 4 injuries to staff members. One I know for certain is the Spec Teams coach.

As much as I despise the Cowboys on the football field, in a situation like this I send them all best wishes for their health.

Absolutely! I'm glad no one was seriously injured and I hope Jones lives well into his Al Davis years!

Actually, it looks like a total of 12 people injured (one critically), including a few assistant coaches. This is pretty awful. There's a video in the link.

Wow. That's worse than I thought. I pray everyone who was injured makes a full recovery.

Pretty harrowing account here. One of their assistants, who happens to be Dan Reeves' son-in-law, broke his back in a few places.

My gosh. The thing looks like it's basically a big tent with lights and stuff hanging from it. I wonder if it's the only facility like that in the NFL. Doesn't look very sturdy.
