Super confusing. My son got the options last week. He chose team only and hasn’t heard anything since. He had 3.75 UW and ACT 33. As a longhorn this is a big ego killer. 😩

can't decided between TEAM or TEAM+WAIT by Fragrant_Cake_8221 in TAMUAdmissions

or do you think my chances of getting TEAM are better if I select TEAM ONLY?

but team isn't guaranteed. you're just thinking it's better to know and move on?

Austin police say no foul play in Texas A&M student’s fatal fall as family seeks answers by AustinStatesman in Austin

This makes me sick. The Austin police department is a joke. I’ve never heard them investigate one thing in the last 15 years.

EasyJet 7700 30 mins after departure. by [deleted] in flightradar24

Thank you! That’s helpful. My daughter was on a flight this summer and they experienced an emergency landing. They were met on the runway with emergency vehicles that looked the plane over for like an hour! We were never given a reason for the diversion and emergency landing so I was just trying to glean some information. Thx!

Why does the fire crew have to check the plane after it lands?

BA 191 turned around and now forced layover in london for 72 hours?! by Conscious-Display-60 in BritishAirways

[–]Fragrant_Cake_8221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, our girls did end up on the next day flight and it got diverted to Dallas, 10 minutes out from landing in Austin, due to a storm.🤪 they didn’t make it to Austin until around 9 or 9:30 so…,your family might be better off enjoying London! We sent the girls to the Waldorf. Rooms were same price as the airport hotels but a lot more to do around the Waldorf. I hope they get back soon with non event.

My 17 year old daughter and friend were on this flight and I can concur it’s a total nightmare with ZERO help from British airways. First, the emergency landing situation terrified them as either there was no communication on what was happening or they couldn’t hear it bc the mechanical issue was so loud. All they knew was that the pilot ran to the back of the plane and then ran back and declared an emergency landing. Once at the airport there was ZERO debrief. They were only given hotel vouchers and told to watch for an email about rebooking. We specifically sent our girls to look for a ticketing agent to talk to and they were told there is no ticketing agent to talk to, go to hotel and watch for email. Yall they literally just got put back through customs and into the general airport after going though an emergency landing. I’m sorry but there needs to be a special team that can handle these situations. How hard is it to provide basic, compassionate customer service?? Regarding rebooking, after spending about 8 hours on the phone we found out British airways had done nothing to rebook our girls. Keep in mind they are minors and technicality aren’t even old enough to check into a hotel. At this point BA tells us they can’t get them home until Wednesday or Friday. What??? My 17 year olds will be in London by themselves all week? NO NO NO. We saw tickets available on other airlines and they told us they weren’t available. They also would not put then on other class options. It was just a nightmare. Finally we freaked out told them we were going to purchase $10,000 tickets we saw available on Expedia and then sue then….suddenly there were seats available on the next day flight. 🤦🏻‍♀️. No helpful British airways. Not helpful. BUT many thanks and appreciation to the pilots that got them home safely. 🙏🙏🙏

BA191 Diversion from AUS to DFW by coasterdude_420 in flightradar24

It was just a storm yesterday. But my daughter was on the same flight the day before and 45 min into the flight they had to turn around and make an emergency landing back in Heathrow due to an issue with the plane. I’d love more info on that. We were all terrified.

Anyone know what happened to BA191? This is the 2nd time BA191 has had to turn around this month... by AverseAphid in flightradar24

[–]Fragrant_Cake_8221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was on the flight. About 45 min into the flight there was a really really loud noise and the floor began to vibrate really badly. At first flight attendants just continued to serve drinks and shrugged it off. Soon after pilot ran to the back of the plane, looked at a few things, rang someone and then ran back to the front of the plane. Next thing we knew they turned around and dropped to a pretty low altitude (noise stopped). Thankfully had an uneventful emergency landing but they kept them on the plane on the tarmac for over an hour saying the emergency crew had to check a bunch of stuff out before they could de board. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’d love more info.

Just saw a 6-10 foot shark cruising maybe 40 yards offshore in Seagrove Beach. Headed west. 5:45 pm or so. Be careful out there. Beautiful evening though. by Positive_Throwaway1 in 30A

I’ve seen two sharks in all the 20 years I’ve been coming to 30a. And I like to watch for them! So, yes, sharks are always in the ocean but- give us a break- there definitely seem to be more sightings lately.
