Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Posted by FDS in the Thursday game discussion, but i think deserves its own thread...

Butler's charter plane last night lost cabin pressure on return flight to Indianapolis. Lights went out, oxygen masks dropped, plane needed to drop down quickly to 10k feet from 35k, then made landing in Pittsburgh where they stayed overnight. One article said the team would take a bus back home today. Headaches today for some. Glad everything worked out in the end.

Very scary situation for Butler, their players, coaches and any other personnel on the plane. We should all be incredibly thankful it didn't lead to something worse and that all are ok.

What a bad weekend for them! Best wishes to them after a terrible situation.

A prayer of thanks that they all survived this scary event. That would be completely unnerving.
