Supposedly after the tower fell, the team continued practicing for 30 minutes afterward. The kid had some chilling tweets before and during filming practice
Supposedly the towers are only supposed to hold up to 25 mph wind, not 50 or 60 mph.
Awful tragedy. Not sure what the answer is here. Seems pretty reckless by the ND coaching staff to put this kid in that position. Of course I guess you could say the kid could have came down. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Notre Dame junior Declan Sullivan, 20, sent messages to Twitter from the top of the camera tower where he was recording a football practice less than an hour before he fell to his death Wednesday.
In the first message, timestamped 3:22 p.m., Sullivan wrote, "Gust of wind up to 60mph well today will be fun at work... I guess I've lived long enough :-/."
The second message, which was sent at 4:06 p.m., less than an hour before his tragic fall at 4:50 p.m., reads, "Holy **** holy **** this is terrifying."
The campus is reeling from the tragedy. Students and faculty members alike are taking to Facebook and Twitter to express disbelief that anyone -- let alone a 20 year-old student -- would have been in a camera tower under such harsh conditions
