The resident Cowboys Chick Posts: 648 Group: SUPER MOD SQUAD Member #211 Joined: February 18, 2007	Manufacturer Of Cowboys Facility Connected To Three Building Failures Posted by Mike Florio on May 6, 2009, 8:28 p.m. In the wake of the collapse of the Dallas Cowboys’ indoor practice facility during a Saturday thunderstorm, reports emerged of a lawsuit against the company that built the structure regarding another project that collapsed under the weight of a heavy snowfall in Philadelphia. According to the Associated Press, Summit Structures and its related company, Cover-All Building Systems, also built two other structures that failed during inclement weather. In Oregon, a 15,840-square-foot building collapsed in January 2002 due to snow that, according to a subsequent lawsuit, was “substantially” less than the building’s capacity. The lawsuit was eventually settled. In New York, a building that stored ice-melting chemicals failed during a 2007 snowfall. Said the lawyer representing the company’s insurance carrier, which presumably is suing to recover reimbursement for the proceeds of the claim: “This is upstate New York. Every few years, you’re going to get a blizzard. Don’t sell us this product and say it can withstand this sort of thing when it can’t.” So, basically, the lawyers will be killing some trees on this one.
