Apparently,

They had just dropped off 20 cadets, and were attempting to take off. Just heard that there may be one casualty. Don't think it is a current A&M student.

Please pray for all those involved.

I'm not an expert on the Blackhawk but I don't think it has seating arrangements for twenty. Something like a crew of 4 and 14 passengers. I'd wait for some official info as someone with an unaccounted for kid might get worried.
