    LOL!!!!

    On a sidenote, there is a video. Apparently FSN's cameras were recording. I heard about it this morning on the radio, but haven't looked for it.

    I wonder if the investors can't the design fees back from the architect?

    True!

    When I saw it for the first time on TV I was looking very hard to see if it wasn't an animation. The part when the roof starts to deform/cave-in looks fake like

    Hard to believe air pressure alone was keeping that up.

    Actually, that's not necessarily true. It probably is the engineers fault, but such a roof requires the entire stadium to be pressurized. If the pressure was set too low, or too many doors open for the system to compensate, this could occur. It could also happen if one of my fellow Parts Changers didn't maintain the system correctly.

    How much snow was there?

    OK, that much wouldn't ac ulate on a domed roof. I wonder what the pounds per square inch were were it collapsed at?
