Wow. How did you hear of this tragedy?

[Chromegorilla]

A post on OSO has reported that Nashville Catz (NorTech) and Flash Gordon (Turbine Eliminator) have collided......
Sounds like lots of different info floating round. Lets just hope that whomeever was involved will be OK.....
Another sad day for performance boaters....

[formulafastech]

Current info received from people there is that accident involved Flash Gordon and Nashville Catz, and that people were missing, and life flighted out

[dasburb]

I found this on an old Poker Run lineup site. It looks like Nasville Catz is listed as being owned by: Gibson, Bruce and Myra Old Hickory TN Nor-Tech 43 The Nashville Catz
I have to add to the confusion but maybe this will add some clarity.

[Sleek-Jet]

Oh my god.... :( :( :(

[timewarp]

I have no info on this incident but Nashville Catz is owned by Bruce and Myra Gibson.
My Prayers to all involved in this tragic accident.
Edit:Guess I type slower than dasburb, sorry for the repeat on the information.

Keith..............
Why would you even post something like this if all you have heard is hear say from someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:
There was an accident and I havent even heard that the Gibons Ron & Julie were involved just a Nortech and a Eliminator at this time.
I hope to god your wrong!!! Those are good people and a great family.
Makes me sick that you would even post something like this about anybody when there are other peoples families and friends involved.
My prayers go out to everyone involved.

[hdtwncam88]

im monitoring OSO as well and have an acquiantence that was supposed to be in the run

[hoolign]

Terrible to hear!

[hdtwncam88]

this just posted by OSO member Jassman
I just spoke to Eddie, the mechanic/crew chief for Bruce and Myra Gibson, A 43 Nortech called Nashville Catz. There was a terrible, terrible, accident involving them and Flash Gordon, an Eliminator. Unfortunately I was told there are many tragedies on the Flash Gordon boat, as well as Mrs. Gibson is in bad shape. This all I know to this point. Prayers go out to all involved, I'm so sorry, GOD BLESS. Jeff

Just heard from Phat cat....who got called by people at the scene....Nashville Catz and Flash Gordon..{Turbine Eliminator} were at 100+ side by side when Flash Gordon must have broke a drive or something and turned 90 degrees right in front of Nashville catz....which plowed into Flash Gordon....Bruce Gibson and the driver of Flash Gordon were life flighted out in bad shape....both their wifes were still missing ...and two people in the back of Flash Gordon are still missing Bruce and Myra Gibson owned Nashville Catz....Super nice people who always came to the Jacksonville run...prayers for all.... :( ....more to come

[jdnichols]

Please stop the speculations, There is people hurt and they are being air ambulanced to Dallas.

This is very bad news. I use alot of Gibson exhaust at my shop. Hope they will be ok.

I use alot of Gibson exhaust at my shop.
Wrong Gibsons, at least at this point based on the report of the boats involved. Gibson Exhaust Gibsons have an MTI. Bruce and Myra Gibson have the Nashville Catz boat.

[Keith E. Sayre]

I justed edited and corrected the first post, it apparently was Bruce and Myra Gibson. Im incredibly sorry that I had the names wrong. Some of you have said that it was the Nashville Catz boat and Flash Gordon.
I visited with the Nashville Catz people last year. Sure were nice folks. Godspeed.

Yeah, they've been out there for the last couple runs in Havasu. I believe they won best dressed crew this year, or something along those lines. Really cool people, although I only ever talked to them in passing.

This just breaks our hearts. The Gibsons are about the nicest, and most generous of people you could ever meet. Truly, truly sad. Godspeed.

One word...IGNORANCE! Yes, Flash Gordon had turbine engines, but is was not a jet boat. And it was not a race either! Fockin' moronic media!

[Tantrum]

Thoughts and prayers to all those involved in this terrible tragedy :(

[YeLLowBoaT]

its a shame that this happends. That reporter needs to do some background work b4 she starts reporting. In the video you can see that the boat was almost cut in half right at the cockpit.
I also have to say that poker runs are in real danger of no longger happening.
They are like a powder keg just waiting to blow. 2 bad crashs this year alone. Don't be surprized if the whole cat community takes a hit. INS rates will be going up and don't be shocked if you get a letter from then saying that you will not be covered if you are in a poker run.

[In2Deep]

Thoughts and prayers to all involved.
Sad day for all of us.

Sad Sad news.. I know of these boats and said hi to the Gibsons once. Nice people! Soooo Sorry to hear that and they will be in my prayers..

Just a quick post to keep everyone up to date. I just left the hospital where Bruce is in ICU. He just got out of surgery to put a tube in each lung to drain them and help them inflate. Both lungs collapsed, probably due to the numerous broken ribs puncturing them. His is able to breathe on his own at this point with the help of oxygen. Hopefully they will not have to put him on a vent. His head and face are beat up pretty bad. He suffered numerous bad cuts,lacerations, and broken bones. We are still waiting for the results of the cat scan of his head, but at this point it looks pretty good. He was heavily sedated but was able to talk to me and ask and answer questions. He is very concerned about the well being of everyone involved. He does not really know what happened. He is going to need a lot of time and even more support to recover. Please pray for a complete and speedy recovery from both the accident and for the loss of his wife, friends and fellow boaters. Bruce is the only surviver and has got a very long road to recovery.
I was not at the scene but the general concensus is that something failed on Flash Gordons boat, causing it to make a sharp left turn, directly into the path of the oncoming boat of Bruce and Myra Gibson(The Nashville Catz).It appears that it was an unavoidable and tragic ACCIDENT. Once again, I was not at the scene.
We will stay here as long as it takes. If anyone needs us, we can be reached at 504-416-3607 or youngperformance@comcast.net. Please only call if nessesary. Thank you all for your support and prayers, they will need every bit of it. Eddie

[W.O.T]

i saw this post when it first started and i have to say i hate hearing about things like this like everyone else. it is really depressing. i hope for the best for everyone. i have learned alot about boating since i have been coming on these forums. and have been thankful. i learned how fun boating can be and how quick and bad things can happen. i was not aware of all the things that can happen and i respect it and safety much more now. please everyone be safe and responsible and i hope the best for everyone and their familys who enjoy boating as a hobby and pastime as i do. everyone be safe and goodluck to the survivors and the family.

[Old Texan]

We all need to remember that our hobbies and "loves" carry with them danger and potential tragedy. Safety first and even then accidents happen.
These folks were doing what they loved and tragedy struck. Bless them all.
The stupidity of the media shows through as always and I'm sure the boating industry will be microanalyzed by the "all knowing" armchair experts who will dare claim fast boats as extravagant examples of speed that should be banned.
My heartfelt thoughts go out to the families. God's speed.:(

Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families involved.
Bruce and Myra were good friends of ours and were some of the nicest people we ever met. Bruce will need more help to deal with his loss than with his battered body.
God speed to those who didn't make it.
I have to agree that the news people are once again complete idiots.

Best wishes and prayers for Bruce.

I've been sitting here and thinking about this all morning to the point of having a knot in my stomach. :( I heard about it in Parker this weekend and was hoping it was just false rumours, and over exagerated river tales.

Words can not describe how bad I feel for all involved, especially Mr. Gibson. I cannot imagine starting to recover from the injuries only to be told the final outcome of the incident. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
