Funny you mention that there are reports of an IBM exec on board
Yes, Philip Wood worked for IBM
The Wood family has released a statement to KXAS-TV (NBC5), which is copied below:
“Philip Wood was a man of God, a man of honor and integrity. His word was gold. Incredibly generous, creative and intelligent, Phil cared about people, his family, and above all, Christ. Though our hearts are hurting, we know so many families around the world are affected just as much as us by this terrible tragedy. We ask for your prayers, not only for ourselves, but for all involved during this difficult time.
As a family, we are sticking together through Christ to get through this. Thank you for your understanding.
The Wood Family.”
