Thar She Blows!

December 13th, 2010

If you watched NFL football yesterday you probably saw the Vikings stadium roof collapse. If not, go watch it. It’s rather spectacular. Fortunately no one got hurt so we can sit here and watch it over and over again and go, “Wow, look at that!” without feeling too guilty about it.

They must have been expecting it to have caught it on camera. Or do they normally leave cameras running all night? At the time it happened the game had already been postponed.

UPDATE: The Metrodome roof has collapsed (or deflated) five times. (via) Funny… the Packers have never had that problem.

    It’s possible they leave cameras on for security reasons.

    It was pretty spectacular. It’s a really good thing it happened when it did and not when a game was being played (or a practice was being held)

    The cameras belong to Fox. I first saw it on the Fox pregame show and later when NBC showed it they said that the footage was “courtesy of Fox.”
