USC players, coaches and supporters aboard the team’s charter flight from Los Angeles endured a harrowing arrival in South Bend, Ind., on Thursday night. Several players, administrative staff and coaches’ spouses said passengers were hurled out of their seats and hit their heads on the ceiling when the plane dropped while making an approach through a lightning storm. The pilot aborted the approach and circled before landing without incident, said Dennis Slutak, USC’s director of football operations. Some of the passengers were not wearing seat belts at the time, but others said their seat belts broke.
According to this (and ads running in the local papers), the USC basketball team will be hosting “Midnight Madness” at 9:00 pm Friday.
