[dubbsco]

Apparently a pretty scary situation. No one is seriously hurt.

Damn that is scary.

I wonder if they are going to take a bus

We closed work today due to a power tower teetering and nearing collapse by the entranceway. Winds are insane.

Glad everyone is ok. That is a scary situation.

Didn't this happen last year to one of the other tournament teams?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not sure I could get on another plane after that.. That's way scary..

 

[gotime909]

Damn, that's some scary shit.

I agree with Mitch, be tough to get me on a plane right away after that.

I just saw this story. Really glad no one was seriously injured. Now go and win the tournament! GO BLUE!

I read through the RCMB thread on this. I'm embarrassed for that website, honestly.

Sanderson had this tweet https://twitter.com/campsanderson/status/839592328549527571

Michigan coach John Beilein texted saying, "All OK! A few guys a little banged up and shook up Blessed we did not get up in the air."


Michigan basketball head coach John Beilein said they felt something wrong with the plane right away. Brakes had immediate issues.

John Beilein on Michigan's plane accident: "Our kids will look at life much differently after what we just experienced."

They tentatively plan to leave tomorrow. Going to be a really tight schedule heading to tip off.

More Beilein: (1/2) "That game tomorrow has still a lot of meaning but certainly our kids will look at it much differently, look at life....

Holy crap they are lucky then I talked to my friend and he said if they were just a few hundred feet off the ground the may all be dead like his brother and I said "what "
And he told me his brother died in the 1987 Northwest plane crash in Romulus.
Me and my wife were on the road moving to Vegas about so I vaguely remember it.

I was an early high schooler back when that happened (though I think it was during the summer). Most horrific scene I can ever recall in the Metro Detroit area. There was non-stop local news coverage for probably days.

A guy I knew, I think his name was Randy, he was a neighbor of my cousins in Saline, was on that plane.

I remember that crash, mostly because only a single passenger survived, a young girl, and I remember as a kid being horrified at the thought of losing my parents and surviving. I must've been 7 when this happened.

I read the wiki article a while back and learned she was eventually raised by relatives and never spoke publicly about any of this.

at the time, my parents told me the girl survived because everyone threw themselves over her to shield her from the impact, but wikipedia says that's not true. she and her family were all belted in their seats; she just happened to survive. Another thing my parents lied to me about!

Well if Wikipedia is addressing that specifically, then it follows that it was a widely held belief.

So your parents didn't really like for you. They just told you what they and most people had assumed it was true.
