My only question; why did the school allow students to build such a large structure with no professional help? Very dangerous.
Hindsight. It evolved into what it was and at some point they likely had some sort of engineer in the mix. shite just gets out of hand sometime.

Yeah, they gradually started building the stack taller and taller over the years (going back and looking at a few old pictures, it grew to be an absolute monstrosity).

Many engineers were in the mix--and some of the state's largest oil companies assisted as well. The tragedy was a combination of unstable soil on the polo fields, a wedding cake-tiered structure that simply became too large, and a horrible, horrible fluky collapse.
Probably the worst day of my life.
I can still close my eyes and remember the sights & sounds like they happened early this morning.
