Police said the bus was carrying students in grades 7 through 12 from Hartford Academy Of Mathematics And Science to a robotics competition. Radio is reporting some bad injuries.

I know we have slightly different priorities on this day, (but this puts a lot into perspective when this happens to members of our ever-growing FIRST family) & I wonder if this news will reach the kickoff up in NH & possibly have an impromptu moment of silence during the broadcast for those affected.

Prayers to the friends, families, & those involved with the accident! :(

From both myself and team 1501, our thoughts and prayers are with those affected.

I have made a phone call and text message to people there. They may be able to get word on stage.
