Sixteen years ago tonight, the Bonfire stack became unstable and collapsed and twelve Aggies were killed as they were working on it.
The aftershocks of this devastating event changed the very nature of an institution known for standing strongly in its traditions. It was the darkest tragedy in the long history of our school.
Traditions Council will be holding the Bonfire Remembrance Ceremony tonight at 2:42 AM on the polo fields at the Bonfire Memorial. If you have never been we highly recommend that you attend and experience an important tradition and part of the deep history of the school we love so much.
