It still won’t stay up on my screen. It loads half way and then clicks to blank. Why did 7 children drown? Was there a flood? Broken pipes? Were there other children in the basement who did not drown?

Somebody who has actually read the story, please comment.

Yes, I read it was broken pipes. I can’t imagine there was a basement. Modern schools don’t have basements. Perhaps it was a maintenance room.

I am wondering that myself. Heard two conflicting news reports on TV.

Both do agree that the school pancaked on top of the children, trapping them.

One report then stated that the trapped children drowned in puddles of water from rain that came with the tornado.

The other report stated that the water pipes in the school burst, drowning the trapped children.

FYI: If the drownings occurred due to burst pipes, ya'd think it woulda been prudent for maintenance to shut off the water at the main valve prior to the tornado hit ...
