    wow, i completely forgot about this:

    Earlier this year, Oklahoma State commemorated the 10th anniversary of the January 2001 plane crash that killed 10 members of the university’s men’s basketball travel party. After a game at Colorado, one of the Cowboys’ team planes crashed near Byers, Colo.

    so sad

    RIP all victims

    I know it's been mentioned before, but I'm very amazed that this doesn't happen more often given that there are hundreds and hundreds of flights every day with schools traveling

    Let alone every day flights. Thousands each day, and I'm surprised at how few actually crashes actually happen.

    Maybe it's because I live so far away but I feel very little connection to this accident. This accident means about as much to me as a plane crash occurring in India.

    I feel bad anytime good people lose their lives prematurely. It's a sad accident but sad accidents occur all the time. Recently there was a small plane crash up here where an entire family lost their lives. Somebody please remind me why I'm supposed to be more upset about this accident than any other accident??? Am I supposed to be super sad simply because they were coaches at a major university???

    People are funny when it comes to their views of humanity.

    If I'm gonna shed a tear for somebody I might as well shed it for some poor soldier that just got blown to pieces by a roadside bomb.

    I'll admit it I'm pretty cold blooded. I also will give anybody the shirt right off my back so it's not like I'm some horrible person.

    I'm just kind of desensitized when it comes to death. I've had a lot of friends die in avalanches and stuff.

    Forgive me for not being all shaken up by this accident. I thought the accident where the entire Russian hockey team died was far more tragic. I didn't see everyone all upset when that crash happened. O ya that's right they were just Russians so they didn't matter as much.

    4 people died in this crash whoopty fucking doo. Hire a new coach already and get over it.
