For almost 100 years, Texas A&M created MASSIVE bonfires prior to their game against archrival University of Texas. The bonfires became bigger and bigger each year. In 1999, 70 students at a time set up more than 5,000 logs. On November 18, 1999, the stack was 59 feet high. You should all see where this is going.... The stack collapsed. Cranes were brought in. The process was slow - a wrong move...further collapse and students were under the logs. 12 kids died, 27 injured. So there ya go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggie_Bonfire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggie_Bonfire
