Snipe

Terrible event. I've never heard of that type of wind (can't remember the term they use for it right now- microwind or something??). Is that common in Texas? Amazing it could cause such a huge building to collaspe like that.:o

I wish that assistant all the best.:( Very sad news to hear he ended up being paralyzed.

They call it Microburst Its is similar to windshear. A Microburst-induced wind shear is what brought down Delta Flight 191 in 1985 at DFW airport and killed 131.. That is about 5 miles from this facility..
