i always feel some degree of sadness for the victims and families of tragic
events, be it a train crash in india or a car wreck across town. i fear more
that anything in the world the unspeakable grief and sorrow, sure to follow
like an albatross till my dying day, should i ever be so cursed as to lose a
child before their time. i have never, ever been so deeply saddened by the
deaths of strangers as i have by todays events at texas a&m. longhorns hate
aggies and vice versa like no other rivalry in the country, but in reality we
all know its but a shallow veneer and all in all taken in fun - for they are
our brothers, cousins, wives, parents. they are texans, americans. they are us.

My grandma was one of the first coeds ever admitted to A&M. My mom went to UT.
They are us. This was a great tragedy for sure. Seems especially tragic 'cause
they died doing something so - I dunno- optional? frivolous? relatively
unimportant? They were kids at play.
I'm sorry too. Things like this remind us what a crapshoot life can be. Roll
7's and you get to go surfing tomorrow. Roll snake-eyes and you're in a box.
Maybe everyone standing within 10 feet of you too.
Life is for the living. Hug your kids tight and be sure to look both ways
before crossing the street.
Regards,
Surfer Bob

I was thinkn the same thing...why in hell does this thing need to be 40ft high?
Wouldn't ya say maybe a hundred logs would do, no they have to burn 7,000 logs.

Hell...40ft was how high it was when it collapsed; It was
supposed to be 55ft or something like that when done.
My comments: Yes, tragedy. Even moreso in that, in the whole scheme
of things, it was over something relatively trivial, tradition
or not. However, I *do* understand that traditions can be strong
and take on a life of their own where they appear to be *not* so trivial.
For this reason, I'm sure the bonfire thing will continue in the future,
but you can bet there will be some serious modifications to ensure
safety.
Later,

A 40' bonfire sounds like a fun time to me. It's been their tradition since
the 1920's.
They were all young college kids, willing to take risks. Don't tell us you
never took risks before you knew "what the fuck" you were doing.
DaRat~
what possessed these kids to do this at 2 a.m., with people on on lower layers of
the log deck while new logs were being placed above their heads? i feel for the
family, but a&m should think about a smaller bonfire. the news reports showed video
footage of another log deck collapse (not to long after the fire was started), so
there was warning.

I was watching the National news last night and they where
talking about the problems that Hurricane Lenny is stirring up.
It appears that the Coast Guard is completely overwhelmed
with the number of boaters in distress calling in for help.
They told the story of two US boaters who radioed in to the
Coast Guard Station with an SOS call.
It appears that the boat was going down, the Coast Guard did
not have time to find this boat and rescue the two sailors.
So, The sailors realized that they where going to have to abandon
ship, which would inevitably result in their drowning.
The two sailors radioed the coast guard and told them that they
would be abandoning ship momentarily , then they where patched
through to the telephone so that they could say "good bye" to their wives.
Can you imagine being on either end of that phone call? Truly a sad thing.

That is correct. Texans are not the sharpest knives in the
drawer, therfore, we Texans are putting the following on the
market for sale in hopes that a smarter state will take control:
Austin, Texas - second largest high tech area in the nation.
Houston, Medical Center - largest medical center in the world.
Compaq Computers - largest computer maker in the world.
Dell Computers - second largest computer maker in the world.

Yeah, but they'd been doing that exact same thing at that school for
like 90 years or so, and thought they had it down. And those students
felled all the trees themselves, and helped get 'em stacked like that.
It's just a f*cked accident, is all I can figure.

We surf, we play on the ocean. Getting thrashed around is part of it, but
for many really getting hurt or dying doesn't seem like part of the

Lone Stars can enlighten me. There's a hell of a lot of Texans in Santa
Barbara, seemingly a disproportionate number compared to the other
places I've been in California. Any reason that you can give me for
this, aside from the obvious ones (i.e. it's a beautiful place, blah
blah blah, etc.)?
My theory, FWIW:
The Texans are preparing Santa Barbara for the Second Coming of Elvis,
to take place at the Earl Warren Showgrounds sometime in the early
stages of the coming millenium. But there is little scientific (or
otherwise) evidence to support this claim.

That is creepy. Seems like a lot of people think the Caribbean waters are
safer; usually calm and without the dangers of instant hypothermia. I guess
that makes it all the more dangerous.

I'm from Texas as well, sort of. My family lived in Temple. I was born in
Glendale, CA, on a family trip to Los Angeles, and went home after a week. I
don't know if that makes me a Texan or a fruitcake, but there it is. I do have
an autographed copy of Armadillos And Old Lace, however. I am often amazed
that there is anyone left in Texas. It seems like they've all come to
California. I only surfed around Houston, which is a very bad idea-smells too
wierd. That may be part of the reason. Of course, it may just be Ann Richards.
About the accident-for years, it has struck me as an unexcusable waste of
trees-not the sort of thing I could get into myself, and the danger signs have
shown up repeatedly over the years. It's unspeakably tragic nonetheless. Peace
to the victims' families.
I've met tennesseeans who'd smack you for suggesting the King would return to
California of all places-these people can be pretty serious.

reasons a little. first off, my grandfather's side on my dad's side of the family
have deep roots in texas. if i remember right, the family owned acres and acres
near either gainsville or galvaston which is now an army base or something like
that... so i do have some texas roots, but the thought of 11 kids dying while

Actually, I'm glad you called me on this. My information was incorrect,

: .. so i do have some texas roots, but the thought of 11 kids dying while
: building a huge bonfire is certainly a tradegy, don't get me wrong, but you have to
: understand that it doesn't really hit home with anyone else but texas.
Not necessarily true that it doesn't hit home with anyone else but
Texas, but that does bring up a valid point that I think everyone
should think about. I'm not saying this specifically to you, surfgeo,
but since you have reacted the most passionately to this situation,
this may be a good example for the comments I have:
It's interesting how when a tragedy strikes close to home, the
people affected are so passionate and intolerant in regards to
anyone "making light" of the situation; Sometimes even to the point
of threatening bodily harm (if not death) to the people making
insensitive comments. Yet, for similar, and often worse, tragedies
happening elsewhere, those same passionate people are strangely
silent, or even worse, become part of the "making light" crowd.
Is the loss of a Texas A&M student more tragic than a homeless
person being decapitated? Is the loss of a Columbine student
more tragic than a child being executed in Kosovo? Are there
lives that are more precious than others? I think not. So, if
you are going to be enraged by a tragedy, and even more enraged
by people making light of it, you should be prepared and willing
to do that for *every* loss of life. If you are not prepared
or willing to do that, then you should expect and not be surprised
when people make light of a tragedy that hits close to home.
Additionally, when people "make light" of something, I don't think
they sincerely mean to be insensitive; I think it's more of a
defense mechanism. Death and tragedy is not something most people
like dealing with, and either don't want to face the reality of it, or
they try to mask their true feelings of loss and or fear. For some,
I think the way to do this is to make light of the situation. I think
most agree laughter and humor is preferred over depression and death.
Finally, someone who may have been "making light" of the situation,
also said, "life goes on." This is very true. While the Texas thing
was certainly a tragedy, and while there are dozens more "tragedies"
going on somewhere, life *does* go on. I think most, in there own way,
pay their respects and reflections about a tragedy, then try to move
on as best we can. Attempts at humor may often be a part of that.
So, while that may be especially painful to bear when the tragedy
affects you the most, remember that the silence or jokes about
a loss somewhere else "not in my backyard" pains someone else just
as much. That's the way life is.....and yet, Life goes on.
Peace and comfort to *all* who have been affected by a loss.
Later,
Steve

I feel sorry for texans. texans are proud of
themselves and their state, yet they have no
reasom to feel this way. If I were from
texas, I would be embarassed to claim it.
I've never met a texan that I didn't
eventually want to kick his ass. For the the
most part they are all cheating and lying
swindlers. Is that something to be proud of?
In fact just last week, I kicked another
worthless texan out of our yard at work. We
were renting him some space to paint a tower
crane (which he did a shitty job of). He was
a liar and a theif. He skipped town and left
a number of people (including his girlfriend)
stuck with his outstanding bills.
There's only two other states I would dread
to live in as much as texas....but I'm not
going to go into that because I know how
sensitive Mark's high blood pressure
is....and I actually kinda like the guy.
If I am ever forced to go to texas, I plan to
piss on the Alamo just like Ozzy Osbourne
did.
Fuck texas.......it's a second rate state

Um, minor point here JB but how are you calculating "largest?" By
revenues, the largest computer companes in the US are as follows
according to http://www.pathfinder.com/fortune/fortune500/index.html
(excludes "semiconductor" companies):
IBM $81.667 billion Armonk, NY
HP $47.061 billion Palo Alto, CA.
Compaq $31.169 billion
Xerox $20.019 billion
Dell $18.243 billion
And that's just in the US. If you want to talk Global we should
probably add Siemens, Hitachi, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and NEC to the
list, all above Compaq.

this under the pressure of an ASCII text assault led by a rodent is
