But if it wasn’t a local person connected to an LSU coach that comment wouldn’t bother any of y’all.



I guess its kinda sad that this is true. Or maybe just reality. When I first saw the new that some people had died in a Lafayette plane crash I though, "damn, that sucks" and went about my chores today. After I found out just who died it affected me much much more.

Im no aviation expert and I have no personal relationship with those involved or directly affected.
But we all have experience with loss and I know the LSU community is tight-knit.

You all have my prayers and sincere sympathy especially those who knew these wonderful people personally

Burreaux was just interviewed live on SECN, said he had no idea Ensminger’s DIL was killed in a plane crash.. extremely awkward for Dari Nowkah to have to break the news... ... but i guess the coaching staff didnt want to break the players’ mindset before the game.

I found out my classmate and another classmate's son were on the plane from my brother in Atlanta.

I had heard of the crash earlier this morning and thought nothing of it until then.

Some knew before the game because the O.C. was in tears down on the field.

Going to be a big swing in emotions for enswinger. Daughter in law killed in a tragic plane crash with some other good people, Tigers blow out OU and his daughter is going to give birth to a grand kid any time now. Can’t imagine trying to process all

How far can those small planes travel without refueling?

How much would a brand new plane like that cost?

4-5 million. Pilots, maintenance, and storage another 150k+ per year.

Uh, this wasn't some rookies on their first flight. They owned the plane with a full time private pilot. Idiot
