For the first time, BC Place is now
missing its roof. Well, not really missing, so much as deflated. A huge section ripped free around 1pm yesterday, and the owners of the stadium apparently had no choice but to let all the air out. I work right next door to BC Place, so had front row seats for the show. :-)
Predictably, someone posted a few videos of the collapse on
YouTube soon after (
here,
here, and
here). Given their username is
gamegoof, I suspect it was probably someone on the 8th floor, where
Rockstar Vancouver lives.
And, speaking of things you don't see every day, the final moments of Thursday's
Oilers vs. Stars game were quite incredible. Take a lookee
here. The fun starts 0:55 in. :-)
