Horrific Bus Accident

I have been to Bluffton to ref and to ump, and it is a small college (less than 1200 students). As you all know, four baseball players, along with the bus driver and his wife lost their lives tragically the other day on I-75 in Atalanta. Please keep the families of the lost, as well as the injured---and the tight-knit campus in your prayers. This is a tough loss for all. It is run by the Mennonites and almost everybody in the community of Bluffton itself works for or teaches at the university.



Ironically, my son had just spoken to one of the ***'t. coaches from Bluffton, as he isbeing recruited to play there.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the freinds and family of this tragic accident. It's such a terrible loss. I feel for the injured as well and hope they recover quickly. From what I have heard, this intersection has been a trouble spot for some time. I can only hope they correct this and prevent an occurrence and make it safer in the future. Take care, God bless.

It was sad to see all of that happen as it unfolded in the news.

As an Atlantan, that exit is generally known as one to watch out for, but one who is paying close attention should notice it.

Travelling in a bus, 4 people lost their lives, and their families and loved ones are in the thoughts and prayers of many of us.

I remember years ago (November, 1970) when the entire Marshall University football program was wiped out in an airplane crash. That WV airport is known as being scary for landings, as it was built on the top of a lopped off mountain. Weather also had sometihing to do with that plane crash.

I personally know families who were affected by losing someone in that accident.

It is so sad to see such tragedy and heartache like this happen to anyone, especially to young college students.

Could you please stop for just a second, right now, and say a little prayer for them and their loved ones...
