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.

Aw man. They're listing one dead now.

That sounds horrible! And on what was supposed to be such an exiting day too! I wish them luck in their recovery.

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!

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

This is absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to all family and friends of those involved. Accidents like this always raise the question of why bad things happen to good people.

Once again, I extend my sympathy to all those involved and I send my wishes that everyone else will come out okay.

Our prayers and thoughts are with those on team 3125.
