What happened? Did it get lifted up a little bit and depressurize?

I know bubbles like that have rotating doors to keep constant pressure.

I remember during HS we had an indoor meet in one and the pole vaulters couldn't get through the main doors, so they had to go to a side garage door the first one would open, then close behind them, followed by another garage door opening to keep the pressure.

I don't think it's really a pressurized bubble, just a shitty steel structure with a fabric like roof.

Kinda like this?:

Hope Jerry Jones enjoyed the Kentucky Derby. He's got lawsuits coming his way.

At least they didn't wait for the post season to have a complete collapse this time.

Sounds like there were some pretty serious injuries, including one broken back, a compound fracture, and one man impaled by a flying object.

That's crazy & unfortunate....That had to be one hell of a storm to do that.

Yeah, it pretty much stormed here in the Dallas area all day. And it is just basically a big tent. The video is on yahoo sports, and a million other places I'm sure.

But it was a really intense thunderstorm.

Like page 1 of the thread perhaps?

The Dallas Cowboys announced tonight that scouting assistant Rich Behm will be permanently paralyzed from the waist down after suffering a fracture of his back that “severed the spinal cord,” according to the Associated Press.
