Can we add historical or something? I was worried this just happened.

I had two classmates in 7th grade that were on one of the other two planes that night. Both were ISU coaches' kids that had attended the meet.

Is the cyclones.tv documentary available on-line?

I've been thinking of Max Ulrich since the news of his passing. He did the absolute hardest thing an ISU AD has ever done when he told the parents of those young women.

I had a genetics course with Stephanie Streit - she was both beautiful and smart.

My house was just west of the crash site on Shriver Ave. My neighbor knocked on our door and told us that an Iowa State plane had gone over our houses and that it had crashed at the end of the street. I had been in the basement and hadn't heard it go over our house prior to the crash.

I grabbed my coat and ran down the street. First responders hadn't arrived yet and the wreckage was smoking. It burst into flames a bit later. I drop past the site whenever I'm in the area.

Went to high school with her. Couldn't believe it when I heard the news.
