Building the Aggie bonfire was once among the most prized student traditions at Texas A&M University. That changed when the 60-foot stack of logs fell and killed 12 people in 1999, a tragedy whose impact still reverberates throughout the school.
Now, 25 years later, the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents is considering bringing the tradition back ahead of the school’s football match against the University of Texas at Austin in November.
