A friend has let me know that 3 workers are critically injured. No equestrian staff or team members were on site at the time. Prayers for those injured.

This happened to be a contractor and their personnel. Guess you probably said the same shite about those injured at Cowboy stadium or when those student's werekilled at Virginia Tech or how about those 3000+ Americans that died when the Trade Center collapsed. You are one classy dude. Maybe you forget that when tragedy occurs, we put rivalries, competition, etc., aside and unite. No worries though... in the midst of tragedy, I know the Aggies would be there to help you and your school nonetheless.

Yeah, some ppl are just assholes. But at the same time, some ppl take things too personally too and it gives the person exactly what they want. it's an intent message board. If you don't have thick skin, you will never survive.
Regardless, hope everything comes out ok.

Some things will always be too soon. The bonfire, Hurricane Katrina, the tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011. Just shouldn't go there.

Here's hoping for the best outcome.

Sad. But I couldn't help but notice that A&M is spending $80MM on equestrian facilities. Certainly there are some revenue sports that could use that kind of investment.

Prayers sent. Hate when this stuff happens

Private donors (one very big one). It's also to be used by the veterinary medicine and college of agriculture.

the more i think about this the madder i become. knowing how contractors use so much illegal labor here in tejas, it makes me wonder if the cheap unskilled workers were the cause. regardless, i'm glad no one was killed. and if illegals were at fault, i hope the contractor get's sued, loses his business and spends some time in jail. it's time we crack down on law breakers in this country.

Hate to hear this any update on the victims?

More likely it was the lazy white boy in the trailer.
