It’s been three years, almost to the day, since 12 people were injured — one of them permanently paralyzed — after the Dallas Cowboys’ 88,000-square-foot, steel-and-fabric practice facility collapsed under high winds.
Since then there have been lawsuits, federal investigations and detailed engineering explanations. Today, we’re reminded that it wasn’t all Jerry Jones’ fault.
The Associated Press is reporting that Enrique Tabak, the engineer who signed off on plans for the facility, has agreed to pay a $12,040 settlement with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. The consent order notes that Tabak’s plans “were not prepared in a careful and diligent manner.”
