Declan Sullivan was killed when a strong wind knocked down a video tower that he was filming on. Sullivan was filming the university’s football team practice on the tower when the incident happened. He death though was very sad has predicted by him just moments before it happened.
Before mounting the tower, Sullivan had tweeted that, “Gusts of wind up to 60mph today will be fun at work… guess I’ve lived long enough”. That is pretty much what happened because Sullivan did not survive another moment when the gusty winds struck and floored the tower he was working on.
The university needless to say was in a mourning mood. The athletic director of the university, Jacob Swarbrick said that, “an extraordinary burst of wind” was responsible for the accident. However he still revealed that the university would conduct an investigation into the accident to determine if warnings were not heeded. By the time of the accident, the National Weather Service in the United States had issued a wind warning.
Mr. Swarbrick added finally that, “This is a time of extraordinary sorrow and grief”.
