They have a very large display, with lots of newspaper articles and photos, detailing the events connected with the crash in the lobby of their basketball arena.

I had heard about this, but never really read about it. Crazy that the one kid who didn't make the flight due to injury died 2 weeks later in a car crash. Sad stuff
