This incident was mentioned on Seattle's KOMO ABC and KING NBC news. CNN as well It's getting run the world over, let alone in the US (see here ), but only because of BC Place's status as the site for the 2010 Olympic opening and closing ceremonies. That's how the international media initally descr...

I doubt people would have been killed from the roof itself. More likely in the panic to exit. As soon as everyone vacates the field and seating area, they be safe and it doesnt come down instantaneously, no matter how fast it did come down controlled. I think a few hundred to a few thousand could h...

As long as we're talking CFLers who have stuck south, the name of former Lion Shelton Quarles, who has now spent the last ten seasons with Tampa Bay, should be mentioned.

What's up with the Players of the Game getting My Little Pony awards? Do you have a picture of that? I think the Players of the Game are much too excited about their gold medals and championship trophy to be bothered by their tiny individual awards. Dickenson and McCallum only received tiny trophie...

Yeah -- I was like, "Did he just say f---?"

Rick Ball on 1040 is saying nobody was hurt, and related comments from an eyewitness who says the roof tore under the weight of snow, and then began to deflate, which exacerbated the tearing.

For a comparison, go here, which has some pre-collapse photos from earlier today.

Looks like this article from Dec 22 spoke too soon:

Contrary to some previous reports, the Teflon roof does not need to be replaced, as a review conducted by its builder shows it is structurally sound, (Graham Ramsay, business development director of BC Place) says.

Make that 4-2 after two -- it ain't over yet.

But seriously, another possibility -- maybe the league rosters were set at 36 players that year?

Wow. What a great read. Although this is the first I've heard of it, his story, as Rammer suggests, wasn't completely unknown to this point; this google cache of a page from the CIS football forum site indicates that his background was profiled on The Score 2-1/2 years ago. He played both basketball...

Hmm -- from that middle photo I count 36 diamonds, or whatever they are: 22 along the circumference and 7 more to each side of the Cup. I was expecting 37, one for each point they scored. So why do you suppose 36 -- maybe the Cup itself counts as the 37th?

Does anyone know anyother sport\game where the paying crowd is expected to be quiet...other than Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy that is. I'm guessing by the rant you're not a golfer, nor have you ever done any amount of golfing. I can tell you that even the slightest distraction will screw your golf...
