BC Place Stadium site is downplaying things a bit I think.

"Roof Panel Suffers Repairable Tear" is the headline.

"Because of the tear, we activated a controlled deflation of the stadium roof."

Are you sure this is not Maya cloth? Either way, nice work!

You are so money!

That was a fast post. This shit happen a little over an hour ago. Gotta love YouTube!

[JIMMYMANGO69]

if you are the origional owner of this video - why on earth wouldn't you have sold this to the News Station? That would have been some fat cash... now it's public domain.

Weird. I'm the original owner of this video. I shot it. I did upload it to CTV but they went with someone else's cel phone video that showed the whole roof instead of just a close up of the rip. This video was spread around at work so rocketcarmike must have received it from a friend there. I'm not sure why he has over two thousand hits and I only have 600 or so but there you. Exciting footage to say the leaest.

[Surely57]

Now you know...don't ever go with CTV :-)

[skonenblades]

Lesson learned.

I got it after a few forwards as an unnamed 10 meg AVI file (couldn't figure out who shot it), I just put it on YouTube to forward it around easily.
