I say that the students should get out of Dodge and be thankful they got out in time.

City of Columbus Disaster
By James Donahue
The wreck of the City of Columbus on the New England coast on January 17, 1884 claimed 104 lives and brought down the Boston and Savannah Steamship Company. It was a senseless disaster that never sould have happened but for a decision by the captain to turn command over to an incompetent subordinate.
The City of Columbus was a five-year-old iron hulled 275-foot steamship, one of four vessels built for the passenger runs between Boston, New York and Savannah. It was on the first leg of a regular trip from Boston, Captain Schuyler E. Wright at the helm, when the steamer hit Devils Bridge, a rocky shoal extending into Vineyard Sound off Cape Cod.
The collision tore the bottom out of the steamer. Captain Wright was unaware of the seriousness of the damage to his command when he ordered the engines reversed. As soon as the ship moved off into deep water it quickly sank so that only its bow, two masts and funnel were visible above the water line.
The steamer sank so quickly that there was no time to send a distress message. The boilers were flooded so not even the whistle could be blown. The ship listed sharply to port, but then settled in an upright position on the bottom. The accident happened just after 3 a.m. so most of the passengers were caught asleep in their cabins. Those that did try to escape quickly died of exposure in the bitter cold January waters.
Some people scrambled up into the rigging on the masts where they clung until they froze to death. Two lifeboats were launched, but both were swamped. One boat escaped with five people in it and the second drifted off empty. One man swam to the empty lifeboat and was still alive in it to be rescued the following morning by the tug Speedwell.

Penn State Rally 4 Resignations Spoken like a true Cultist clinging to her disgraced, deposed and deceased idol. What YOU ARE... is a national disgrace and an affront to basic human decency worshiping at the altar of your cult leader. It's why the university's own students seem to be doing everything possible to distance themselves from the Paterno Cult.
