Also, news station is reporting that a Clemson student was on that flight. I went to Clemson and took this US Air flight many times. With the start of the new semester, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out there were a number of students on board.
Bob Jones University is also in Greenville, SC. Many students returning there as well.
Also Furmans, and even U SC Spartanburg and Columbia...
Learned from our son last night that there were two Clemson graduate students from India on the flight, as well as an 18 year old freshman (daughter of a missionary family) returning to Bob Jones University. Also a family (Mom, Dad, and 13 y.o. daughter) returning from the Bahamas.
Very sad, very tragic indeed for all involved.
