    Big TEX on Fire!

    By markhansonvo  |  Posted October 19, 2012  
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     markhansonvo who attends the Texas state fair every year for work, told me, 'I just got to the job, getting everything set up and looked up, and there it was, the billowing black smoke. Ran over there and sure enough, it was Big Tex. Some people were laughing, thought it was funny and some were disappointed, because of the history. A lot of emotions. It’s something I saw every year, sad to see it go up in flames. It went up so fast, only burned for about seven minutes.' You can read more about the fire on CNN affiliate KCBD.
