Just read in KPRC (Houston) that 400 of you baws put a bonfire together (off-site apparently) to commemorate the fallen in the bonfire 20 years ago.
Will this bonfire be an annual thing now or was it just for the 20 year commemoration?
Good luck tomorrow

It will never be an official university event again.

They have been doing it off campus since the collapse. Still student run, just much smaller stack. Thanks for asking.

There is a group that tries to keep it going and it has occurred for sometime now. The University, listening to its legal advisors and insurers, go to great lengths to keep it completely separate from the school.

I support the students in their ongoing endeavor.
As has been said, this same version has been cut, loaded, stacked, and burnt since the collapse.
When someone mentioned “smaller,” they were referring to involvement and attendance, not the size of stack.
When I was an undergrad, Bonfire was everything.
The entire fall revolved around it.
We scheduled our classes, based on what it took to get it done.
It’ll never be the same.
The legacy is too painful; too hard.

What a sad day that was. My heart still feels for all those affected.
