Ok, so now that the appropriate people are on the case and investigating the collapse of the Dallas Cowboys indoor practice facility, lots of red flags are starting to come out. Apparently, according to several media outlets, the builder of the facility, Summit Structures LLC and their subsidiary Cover-All Building Systems have had some problems on several of their projects.

Also, the Dallas Morning News reports that the engineer who worked for the group and designed the Cowboys facility, also worked on a facility in Philadelphia that collapsed in 2003.

Needless to say, as the investigating contiues more issues seem to be coming out. Also of interest to us was a report from the Houston Chronicle which says that apparently, former Cowboys Coach/Lord, Bill Parcells had some ties to the company in question and it was one of his first orders of business upon arriving in big "D" in 2003.

Also, here is an interview done by CBS's Harry Smith with Brett Kelly of KTVT, who was there when the building collapsed.

Because of the magnitude of what happened, there undoubtedly will be more to come out of this story. It appears at this time that everyone is about to lawyer up and expect that things will get messy. We here at the OSG will stay on top of this...because it should get "Very Interesting".
