!!Dallas Cowboys Indoor Facility Collapses!!

|

IRVING – Twelve people were hospitalized after thunderstorm-spawned winds demolished the Dallas Cowboys' indoor practice facility during a rookie minicamp Saturday afternoon. "You could see the whole roof roll up like a candy wrapper," said Larry Rodriguez, a cameraman for KDFW-TV (Channel 4), who was filming when the structure collapsed with about 70 players, coaches, team support personnel and members of the media inside. At least two of those hospitalized were in serious condition, said Dr. Paul Pepe, chairman of the emergency department at Parkland Memorial Hospital. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, he said. Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis suffered broken vertebrae in his back, according to his father-in-law, one-time NFL coach Dan Reeves. Reached by phone Saturday night, Reeves said DeCamillis was undergoing an MRI and a CT scan, along with further tests. "It's just lucky and fortunate and a miracle really he's not paralyzed," Reeves said. No players were seriously injured in the collapse, which happened about 3:30 p.m., but three other Cowboys personnel were hurt: assistant athletic trainer Greg Gaither, who suffered a broken leg; college scouting coordinator Chris Hall, whose arm was injured; and scouting assistant Rich Behm, who was in critical condition with unspecified injuries. All remained hospitalized Saturday night.
