Watch #5 jump to block a shot near the bench. You'll see him land hard. Then you'll see him laying on the floor. Look at his right leg.
WARNING: It's gruesome, so if you get queasy you probably don't want to watch. The kid suffers a compound fracture. Kevin Ware BREAKS HIS LEG | Louisville vs Duke | March 31st, 2013 - YouTube What on earth is wrong with those people? They all backed away and sat on the ground looking away not wanting to help? I can understand a couple that might get queasy, but that's your teammate... go help. It's just a broken bone and the poor guy is going to be out for a long time, if not career ending. |

I think they were in shock. You don't see injuries of that severity very often in any sport. The trainer was smart. He rushed over and immediately put a towel over the compound fracture to get it out of sight.

Wow, well, I guess his team mates stepped up for him, they blew out Duke in the end. My cable on CBS is still out, but I just saw the final score, 85-63?? Wow.
It had been a 1-2 point game most of the first half, when my cable went out it was about 45-42, I never thought Duke would collapse like that. |

I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often though, those guys are so tall, their lower legs are so thin, and they play hard all the time. It looked like a huge side load when he landed and it just snapped. I hope they can put it back together for him, but the way it was flopping around, didn't look good. I can't remember but did Joe Thiesman ever play again, after his leg snapped? I'm sure they have much better technology in the medical reconstruction field by now, so maybe they can put him back together and Ware can play again, but man, that was nasty! |

I'm a Chapel Hill boy. Duke blows.:D
Well, I got no dog in the fight, I just like to see a good, close game, and it was...for awhile. Coach K's been around a long time, I figured his boys would hang with Louisville to the end, oh well. Back to hockey! :D |

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! |
