(Brings the parking lot "door ding" to a whole new level.)

Again, fully autonomous mode via GPS/data waypoints are the only solution to this action, as available data links/bandwidth wouldn't support the ability to track or lack thereof in "blind" places like the covered parking garage or the "shadows" caused by tall buildings in an urban area.

Happy Easter APC,

I wonder if it was caused by the NCAA playing in these football stadiums with the benches below court level. He might have been trying not to go down into the bench.

Hopefully that young man will have a full recovery. He has to be devastated and in some serious pain

I guess I'm a wuss, because watching the replay made me queasy.

Me too. Absolutely horrific. He's young, so I bet he bounces back quickly.

Maybe. He obviously was attempting a shot block, but it looked like he turned his body and landed on his leg with side momentum. Akward landing. Makes me think of a side imact on the landing gear. Poor kid.

Ok, so who messed up our ability to ride in the back on an intl MIL ferry back to base?

As a result, we had to have transportation to the layover, the hotel, and then we bumped 2 paying pax off of a full regular intl flight this morning since it is now the charter dept policy to not let us ride in the back on an empty airplane. Oh...except the FAs were deadheading on said empty airplane. Even the duty pilot and scheduling were dumbfounded...


I'm guessing I'll be seeing plenty of replays of the accident ya'll are talking about!

Natural hat trick in the first 13:00 of the game by Peca of Quinnipiac(CT) in the NCAA East Reg final. WOW!
