Get in a plane again after the first accident and losing your family members. To have it happen again is like having lightning hit you twice. Horrible. Wishes that he gets through this physically, and then manages to find a way to deal with this emotionally. It's an unimaginable road. Forget basketball...life is what matters.

I cannot believe he has had two plane crashes where family members were killed in his short life. The odds of this happening have to be a billion to one. Poor kid. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

As so many have already said, there are no words that can describe the pain I feel for Austin and his whole family right now. When I heard about the first plane crash a couple of weeks ago, it was one of the hardest stories to ever read. Now when I hear this there is nothing that even comes close to the magnitude of the tragedy. All my thoughts and prayers are with Austin and his family. And hopefully not only Michigan fans are praying for him right now, it truly does not matter what school he goes to or what school he is committed to.

More important than his physical recovery I hope he can mentally and emotionally get over this. I'm sure this kid loves the game and would do anything to play again, but first I just hope he can find some stability after losing so many people close to him.

Probably the worst thing that could ever happen to a kid, is lose all direct family. I hope he gets through this emotional and physical pain. Forget about b-ball, doesn't matter right now...

I pray that he makes a full and speedy recovery. Does anyone know the extent of his wounds? I can only imagine if he does recover and is able to take the court one day to play for Michigan. That is one game I would not want to miss, his first time in front of the Crisler fans. What a moment for him it would be, all the best to this young Michigan Man. !! God Speed !

Re: extent of wounds
Re: extent of wounds
Obviously we don't have a lot to go on here, but I talked to my mom, who is a nurse, to ask her about what she thought about a possible recovery given what we do know (cracked skull, two punctured lungs, no brain bleeding, medically-induced coma). She said that healthy people can usually fully recover from a punctured lung in about six weeks and that he should hopefully be able to make a full recovery if there is no brain damage. Like I said, no one but his doctors know the full extent of his injuries, but at this point I think we should really be praying that his brain is fully functioning.

What a Tragedy

One can ohly hope and pray that he recovers physically and psychologically. The prior accident must have had an impact due to the loss of family life, but then for this to occur so shortly after realizing a dream of attaining a scholarship to UM.
Our prayers are with Austin Hatch. I hope that there is an extended family to support him through the dark days that are sure to follow. Let's also hope that he recovers sufficiently to play out the dream and return to playing a sport that he clearly loves.
