A Notre Dame student (20) died after a film tower (used during football practices) falls with him filming at the top. Apparently winds today in South Bend exceeded 50 mph causing the scissor jack tower to fall across a parallel street. The accident occurred around 4:50 and the student died at Memorial Hospital a short time afterward.
Please remember this family, team and campus in the coming days.
I sat with my mouth open for like 10 minutes after I read this.

Am I reading you post correctly? Was there a second person killed?

Not in this situation, I was actually referring back to the UK hockey player that was killed a while back that you posted.

Ah, okay! I got you. Yeah it is a month that will put things in perspective you know. Such a horrible situation

This makes me sad
Very unfortunate and sad to hear! If the winds were that strong, you would think that the Notre Dame football personnel would have had enough sense not to put him up there!

Player had tweeted just before the incident, while he was on the tower, stating that being on that tower during the wind was terrifying

Another incident happened over spring break in Panama City with Notre Dame recruit, and Cincinnati St. X student fell two stories from a balcony and unfortunately lost his life.
Hate to hear this.. hope the best for the fighting Irish and the student's parents.
Life is precious. Don't take it for granted. Very sad. RIP
Praying for family and friends.
God be with the family and those close!
This is really sad. I can't believe that they would have let him stand on that tower with 50 mph winds.
