    I remember they said the reason it tore was because the normal snow abatement system (hot water melting it) was overwhelmed by that huge storm so it just melted and froze into *ice* which added too much weight and led to the failure.

As a Bears fan, i remember Brett Favre getting clobbered into the freezing ground in one of the last games of 2010. Probably the last time the Bears were actually competitive lol

    Sorry if this has been answered but:

    Apparently the FOX camera man (or everyone) knew this would happen, so they set up an unmanned camera overnight. The article states, among other things, "This FOX crew had the foresight to put a camera on a leaky roof and it paid off with some of the best video you'll ever see".
