quote:My brother had a very interesting first day of college baseball, the other day. My brother is playing NAIA ball at Cedarville University, and he’s a freshmen. Essentially, Tuesday was his first day of college baseball, they were set to play baseball somewhere in Kentucky. The game was over, and they were on their way back to campus on the charter bus.
Some players were complaining that they smelled smoke, and then the third basemen yelled that there was a fire and they needed to get off of the bus. They got off as the bus lit up in flames, and a lot of the team’s possessions were lost. A lot of equipment. Fortunately for my brother, he only lost a hat, a CD, and his CD player. Nobody was hurt in any way, but the bus, from what I heard, went down with the flames.
I had never heard of a story like that before. I tried to search the Internet for this particular story, and to my surprise, this has happend in the past and fairly recently. I think this is something we can all pass on to our sons and daughters, be very alert about things like fires starting on a bus and be very quick to react to any smell of smoke.
Here are links to the stories I found:
