After getting battered by severe thunderstorms on Saturday, a roof that covered the Dallas Cowboys practice facility collapsed injuring 12 people. None of the injuries were life threatening.
According to CNN: ” Arnold Payne, a photographer for WFAA, was shooting the Cowboys’ practice session when rain began falling “tremendously hard.”
“I noticed the walls started to waver … and then I noticed that the lights that were hanging from the ceiling started to sway, and it wouldn’t stop,” Payne told CNN. Shortly after that, he said, “It was as if someone took a stick pin and hit a balloon.”
Payne said Cowboys staff photographers were up in the metal framework beneath the canopy to film the practice session and “actually rode the building down with the storm.” At least one was in surgery Saturday night, he said.
“There was nowhere for them to go, and it fell so fast — it just collapsed as if it was being imploded,” Payne said.
Video from CNN affiliate WFAA showed the roof caving in during a heavy storm, sending players, coaches and a handful of reporters and photographers scrambling to escape. “
