VIDEOS: It has been 25 years since the deadly bonfire collapse at Texas A&M. The tragedy has impacted the community for years to come. At 2:42 a.m. on November 18, 1999, Texas A&M University was forever changed. The 60-foot-tall bonfire, a symbol of school spirit, collapsed. The tragedy was attributed to faulty construction and insufficient oversight. Twelve people were killed, and 27 others were injured that night. The longtime Aggie tradition started as a way to mark the rivalry with the University of Texas.
