Young people have always done stupid stuff and very nearly someone always pays the price. When I was a security policeman guarding nuclear loaded B-52’s we chased one of our own onto the wing of a B-52 after we tried to De-pants him. He slid off and broke both legs. How abot the young troop who was caught riding a cruise missile like a bike while it was being transported on a carrier. Young people just do not think things through with the obvious results. very sad for the family.
I’m a current student at Notre Dame. They were up there because there is a “tradition” of sorts of climbing buildings around campus, especially during Senior Week. Most just climb Stepan Center, but the JAC is also a commonly climbed building. This is incredibly tragic, and my heart goes out to Billy’s family. I hope that people can learn from this incident, and that this “tradition” will no longer be a thing. This should never have happened, and it should never happen again.

That really sucks. I cant imagine the pain the parents will have to suffer every time they have to write a check to pay off those student loans.
