One cadet killed, 20 others injured, along with two enlisted personnel who were driving the vehicle. This time of year, it would be a bunch of new sophomores doing their summer military training at Camp Buckner/Camp Natural Bridge, which are near the Academy. Single vehicle crash, looks like a deuce-and-a half truck. Read that they were transporting to a land nav course.
I'm already reading comments about someone needing to be held responsible. I've ridden in the back of a deuce-and-a-half, as some others here have as well. You sit on a bench. Canvas top, no belts. Frankly, in a rollover crash, only one dead is lucky. But jumping to the someone needs punished, knowing nothing else... ;/
Be thou at peace, Cadet...
