West Point is a highly sought university with admission based in nominations by US Senators. This is tragic to all that were injured as well. I can't believe there are spinal injuries.
It does not make sense a US Army personnel carrier was on a side of a mountain. It has no tracks. It does not have four wheel drive.
All these senior cadets have gone through this training before. As a senior they would have more responsibility in the maneuvers, but, they have done this before. The point is this is not new terrain. These cadets know the dangers of the area. This should have been an easy time for them.
None of this makes sense. Who decided a personnel carrier was capable of taking a mountainside?
One other reality check, there are US Army Junior ROTC Officer Training Camps that take place there every summer. They are high school students, probably with aspirations to attend West Point. The terrain is challenging, but, this is New York State and not the Rocky Mountains.
