No Day But Today for 2005 September 28 (entry 0)

(2) Wed Sep 28 2005 17:18 our true aggies...: It has been quite the week here at Utah State. On Monday we were watching the 5:00 news, and saw that there had been a rollover accident that had killed at least 8 people near Tremonton (which is just outside of Logan). The news at first reported that they thought it was a family. Instead it was a USU van, on its way home from an agriculture field trip. There were 10 AgSci students, and their instructor on board, when the back tire blew and the van rolled, instantly killing 7 of the passengers. One died later at the hospital and the remaining 2 are still in very critical condition. It was a very sad day for us at school. We held a candlelight vigil in the victims honor. The Ironic part of it all is that this week was AgSci week, in which there were various activities to be held celebrating the college of agriculture. These boys were the very students who drove the giant tractors on campus earlier that day, and now the tractors are sitting there as a giant silent reminder of those we lost.

The news has it that one of the passengers was a Bradley Wilcox. Could he be the son of THE Brad Wilcox?

i don't think so... it would be unfortunate if it was because the speaker Brad Wilcox is on a mission.
