'Apathetic Safety Mentality' Cited in Fort Hood Wreck That Killed 9
Austin American-Statesman | 11 Jun 2017 | by Jeremy Schwartz
Just before 11 a.m. on June 2, 2016, at the tail end of a torrential rainstorm, Pvt. Tysheena James drove the military transport vehicle carrying 11 of her comrades to the edge of a water crossing. The truck was built to withstand 30 inches of moving water. Officials estimate the rain-swollen Owl Creek was nearly three times higher.
Hours earlier, Fort Hood's Installation Operations Command had issued an alert closing the crossing at Owl Creek and dozens of others throughout Fort Hood due to the historic rainfall, an alert that never reached the unit.
