The plane was likely designed to carry a total of 11 people, including two pilots, Mark Rosenker, acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said at a news conference. Officials said seven adults and seven children were killed in the crash.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Anthony Brock missed his flight from Little Rock, Ark., to Knoxville on Saturday after attending his grandmother’s funeral. Good thing he didn’t miss the game.
Brock hit a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer to secure Alabama’s 70-67 upset of Tennessee on Sunday.
“We had a flight for him … and he missed it so he drove all night to get here,” Alabama coach Philip Pearson said. “The first time I saw him was about 8:30 this morning and he said, ‘Hey, what’s up coach?’ His cousin drove him all the way to Knoxville.
“I’ve got to meet this cousin.”
The win was the Crimson Tide’s fourth in the final five games of a regular season that included the midseason departure of coach Mark Gottfried, who resigned on Jan. 26 amid criticism of both the team’s play and departure of a star player.
Alabama (17-13, 7-9 Southeastern Conference) had been picked to win the SEC West but instead finishes as the No. 4 seed in the division, setting it up for a matchup with Vanderbilt in the conference tournament on Thursday. Yazının kalanını okuyun »
