Bloodied

David Filkins and Paul Grondahl: BECKET, Mass. Bodies hurtled through the air as windows smashed.

"Guys were flying around like ping-pong balls," Albany River Rats left wing Joe Jensen said of the team's bus wreck around 3 a.m. Thursday.

Announcer John Hennessy flew from his seat and crashed into equipment manager Jason McGrath, the force of the blow blasting both men through the air and onto the Massachusetts Turnpike.

"They went right through the window," forward Ryan Weston said.
