I think Draco attends Texas A&M. :O


An Army Blackhawk helicopter has crashed into a field near the Corps of Cadets quad on the campus of Texas A&M University.

According to the College Station fire department, five people were injured in the crash. Three of those were critical injuries. All on board were military personnel conducting a training exercise.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are on the scene at Duncan Field where the crash took place.

Some of the injured were taken to St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan, others to the College Station Medical Center.

The Texas Department of Public Safety or the Army will be taking command of the scene, according to CSFD.

Fires were spotted according to News 3's crews on the scene just after they arrived. Blockades have been put in place as a result.

News 3's Blake Mathews said about 1:30 p.m., there were five helicopters sitting on the campus, with three at one point taking off together and flying away. An hour later, around 2:30 p.m., two were still on the ground, with one about to take off.

According to Gal, Draco was sick today. So fortunately, he is safe. If the king of reptiles died, this forums would fall like the Roman Empire.

I know, my dad works in the airline industry. He is the general manager for American Airline's Aircraft Maintence. But normally they have a general idea.
