    Terrible news. They've been running a headline across the bottom of the t.v. screen on local stations here. There was a big concert in "Five Points" (party central for USC students) last night, the reason the band members were in Columbia. Hope everybody else pulls through.

    Be interesting to see if any of the 4 dead were performers last night. Perry Ferrell was there last night also.

    Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman said all the dead in Friday's crash were Californians.

    He identified them as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad; Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles
