KETV Omaha on story

Their elevator dropped three floors causing multiple injuries

"The four students injured are members of First Presbyterian Church in Wahoo, Nebraska. A group leader and member of the church told KETV that two girls required surgery for leg and heel fractures. One teen suffered a broken foot and broken ankle, which could require surgery later, and the other teen suffered a broken ankle.

The homeowner suffered a broken leg in multiple places, Denise Lawver told KETV.

Three of the injured teenagers left New Orleans on Sunday, according to the group's Facebook page. One remained in the hospital."

Saphire Quintana's Go Fund Me Page is asking for 5k to help get her back home to Omaha

The good news is that they didn't get shot while visiting New Orleans!

They should have jumped right before it hit and they'd have been fine.

It was in a house? You'd think they would highlight this fact in the story, but I had to read through it to figure this out.

And asking for $5k. Damn, that's one expensive flight. Sounds like a racket to me.

They're not home yet so don't count your chickens before they've hatched.

When it comes to tourists in NO: A moment on the trip equals a lifetime on the therapeutic.
