Ya gotta get the call first its a process fellas.. I wasn't there so I dunno but.. Think bout how this process works and don't blame the responders so hard unless it was blatant lazy arse not doing their jobs..

If true its more likely that they didn't have the place adequately staffed. That was my initial thought.....not that the paramedics were too busy taking bong hits and watching Ren and Stimpy

Not confirmed but I've heard from someone at the game that a 20 year old ut student died from injuries in the fall. I pray that is not the case and that it's just rumor.

Good lord I hope that is false info.

4chan is spamming that article with inappropriate comments. I wish ESPN would disable the comments

If I was face to face with the poster of those comments, I would knock his tooth out. What a classless piece of ****ing dog ****.

Wow. So sad to hear about this. Prayers everybody.... this is just awful...

This is just a sickening story. One minute the guy is having a great time with his friends and then in an instant he's gone.....

 

[volunteernation16]

imagine his parents getting that phone call, driving to the hospital and watching him pass. This story makes me physically ill

The worst part is that it probably wasn't in an instant. What a terrible way to go, at least his last thoughts were jubilant.

You're overreacting, I'm referring to the fact that, in my experience, the Georgia Dome Security is staffed by complete fools who know someone, hence why they have their jobs.

They're ingrates, and I truly hope they're taken to task over the incompetence shown tonight...

Misunderstood your post. My apologies.

When I first got the text from my friend he said this is what he believed had happened, but I did not want to post that kind of info. I really have a heavy heart for the kids family, there is no way I could imagine something like this happening to one of my family members at a football game. Prayers will be said for all involved.

Just goes to show us how precious life really is. Any place at anytime something like this could happen. Thank God for everyday you get.

I was sitting/standing next to the band over the tunnel where we came on the field. I just got home a few minutes ago and had no clue this happened. God bless him and his family. This is awful.

 

[GoodoleRockyTop3]

I will say that it doesn't sound great that doctors won't say anything until the parents get there but I'm not sure of medical rules

Ummm, patient/dr privacy...they can't say sh!t without consent....PERIOD!!

 

[ATC_VOL]

Incredibly sad story if it's true he passed away. Some drunk guy at the game was saying someone had fallen and died, but then later several others said they were ok, so I had hopes that was true. Prayers for the family.

 

[GoodoleRockyTop3]

I think he passed...

I just checked the seating chart. I was in 109 and he fell from 311. I couldn't have been much closer and didn't see anything. Damn I hate this.

Link doesn't work. Incredibly sad though. He was just there to have a good time, and cheer on his favorite team, and it ends like this. Just seems unfair.
