Today is the 20th year anniversary of the collapse of the Texas A&M bonfire. A tragedy that was felt inside and out of The Lone Star State.

The Texas A&M bonfire had been a tradition for more than 90 years, that tradition came to a tragic conclusion on Nov. 18, 1999 when 11 students and one former student lost their lives. Another 27 people were injured in the accident that night. There were 57 Aggies working on construction of the bonfire when it collapsed at 2:42 a.m. on the fateful morning.
