And the PAX on the flight ended up doing well, too. This flight was a charter taking the University of Michigan basketball team to their conference (Big 10) tournament being held in Washington, DC. After evacuating, the team had to take another flight the next day to Washington, arriving just before their first game that afternoon and without their equipment (which was still in the bashed up belly of the accident plane). Even though Michigan was only expected to be a middling team at the tournament, they ended up winning the whole thing.
