OSU reacts to plane crash
I barely understood the phone call, which woke me out of bed Friday at about 9 a.m. Editor: “Did you hear about the OSU plane crash, I need you to go to Stillwater now.” Me: “Huh? That was 10 years ago.” Editor: “No. There was another. You’re doing video.” I got up pretty quick and [...]
