"The new Dallas Cowboys stadium will cost $1 billion. And, as of Saturday, as least one human life.

Two days after a crane accident sent three men to the hospital, a worker died at the venue after touching a high-voltage power line."

What is the deal with all of these crane accidents lately? It seems like everytime I turn on the news there is a new one being reported.

Hanging steel is a top 5 most dangerous job. There is no margin for error. A good crane operator can mean the difference between life or death. Trust me, I've run them.

I don't know about karma. Look at how many people died building the Great Wall of China (or were burried alive in it), and it's still standing.

You're right it's estimated that over 2 mil people died during the building and rebuilding of this wall. But the most famous part of this wall was built by the first Emperor of China (approx 220 BC) and very little of it remains now. The part that does remain is to the south of this wall and was built during the Ming Dynasty (approx 1360).

The wall also failed in its task of repelling invaders.

I've always respected the hell out of Jerry Jones for how much he cares for that franchise.

That stadium is going to be amazing.

Fixed it for ya.

Sorry, I just couldn't help it.

Kind of expected a response of that kind, lol.

I know people have their gripes with him but you have to respect what he's accomplished. Now will have, without a doubt the finest stadium in the entire country.

I now await. Accomplished?! You mean bringing in a bunch of felons and failing to get out of the first round for the last decade! Arharhar.
