Title: VIR Injuries
Post by: bel-biv on September 22, 2008, 12:21:51 PM
Does anyone have an update on the guy that got flown out Saturday or on 2E Knox (998 Am)?

Last I heard -
The guy they flew was conscious, but had a badly injured arm
And 2E hurt his back pretty bad

Hope all is well with both

I talked to Clifton Knox's family yesterday afternoon before I left, to see how he was doing.  They said the x-rays and urinalysis didn't show any injuries, but they said he is really sore and in some pain.

I believe he is doing ok; had reconstructive surgery on his arm on Monday(?), and on his shoulder Wednesday(?), is still at Duke Hospital from what I hear. That's all I know... we hope he is doing better and makes a speedy recovery!!!!

Did anyone see what happened?

I think you guys are talking about me. I was the one who got flown out at VIR on Saturday Sept 20th I think. If so I didnt get knock out but I did mess my arm up really bad. Check out my other blog for more info.

Glad to hear that you are doing well.
You went for quite a ride


I'd still like to track down 2e Knox (#998)
If someone could relay me his email, I'd appreciate it
