SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The 1999 Bonfire collapsed due to a number of both physical and organizational factors. Structurally, the collapse was driven by a containment failure in the first stack of logs. Two primary factors caused this failure: the first was excessive internal stresses driven primarily by aggressive wedging of second stack logs into the first stack. The second was inadequate containment strength. The wiring used to tie the logs together provided insufficient binding strength. Also, steel cables, which in recent years had been wrapped around the first stack, were not used in 1999, further reducing containment strength. These two factors – excessive internal stresses and weakened containment strength – combined to cause the collapse.
The physical failure and causal factors were driven by an organizational failure. This failure, which had its roots in decisions and actions by both students and University officials over many years, created an environment in which a complex and dangerous structure was allowed to be built without adequate physical or engineering controls. This organizational failure is complex but includes such things as the absence of an appropriate written design or design process, cultural bias impeding risk identification, and the lack of a proactive risk management approach.
in other words, 99 was not an ACCIDENT
