IRVING, TX -
Five people, including special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, were injured as the Dallas Cowboys' practice dome collapsed today.
DeCamillis was in a neck brace as he was taken out on a stretcher. Four others are hospitalized; Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said rescue personnel were still going through the area and all other players and staff have been accounted for.
Twenty-seven rookies were practicing at the facility today, when high winds came through the area. The 33's meteorologist Bob Goosmann said winds were moving as much as 70 miles per hour.
Witnesses reported lights flickering and shaking; the facility was being evacuated as the roof came down and power went out. The 100 yard facility's roof is an air-supported canopy, supported by aluminum frames.
