Cowboys, Manufacturer Clam Up After Practice Structure Collapses

Description:
Following its sudden collapse May 2 of a fabric-covered indoor practice facility, neither the Dallas Cowboys nor the company that designed and supplied the structure are talking about the design or the engineering of the membrane-covered structure.

OSHA routinely takes up to six months to complete accident investigations.
