Texas A&M’s president says the traditional bonfire, which ended 25 years ago after 12 people were killed and 27 more were wounded when the log stack collapsed during construction, will not return to campus
Texas A&M's traditional bonfire, which ended 25 years ago after 12 people were killed and 27 more were wounded when the log stack collapsed during construction, will not return to campus for the renewal of the annual football rivalry with Texas, school President Mark Welsh III announced Tuesday. A special committee had recommended bringing it back as part of a the school's celebration of the restart of the rivalry with the Longhorns next season.
“After careful consideration, I have decided that Bonfire, both a wonderful and tragic part of Aggie history, should remain in our treasured past,” Welsh said in a statement. The traditional bonfire before the Aggies-Longhorns football game dated to 1909. The 60-foot structure with about 5,000 logs collapsed in the early-morning hours of Nov. 18, 1999, killing 11 students and one former student. The school has a campus memorial for the tragedy, and Welsh noted the upcoming 25th anniversary.
