THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH’S New Album THE END IS WHERE WE BEGIN Sells 23,000 Copies In First Week

 

 

Celebrated Christian Rock band, Thousand Foot Krutch, came of a super awesome first week of release for their latest album, clocking in first week sales at a whopping 23,000 copies.  A very very impressive number for a Christian band.

TFK made headlines last year when they announced that they were leaving their record label Tooth & Nail Records, and plan to release their new album independently.  The band eventually turned to their fans to fund the recording of the new album on kickstarter.  I guess its fair to say their gamble paid off.  Congrats to the whole TFK crew!  Reviews for the new album have excellent across the board.  Definitely worth checking out.

RON LUCE’S Daughter, Hannah, The Sole Survivor Of Horrific Plane Crash That Kills 4 People, Suffers Burns To Her Body

 

 

On Friday afternoon, a small plane carrying 5 people (including the pilot) traveling from Oklahoma to Iowa crashed in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  Killing all 4, with only one sole survivor: Hannah Luce. Hannah is also the daughter of Ron Luce, founder of Teen Mania.  All 5 passengers worked with Teen Mania and were on their way to an Acquire The Fire conference in Iowa.  The tragic news has rocked not only family and friends of Luce’s but also the larger Teen Mania family, as well the Oral Roberts University community (some of the victims graduated last week).

According to Ron Luce, when the plane went down, “three of the five on board died at the scene. These were (pilot) Luke Sheets, Garrett Coble and Stephen Luth. Hannah and the fifth passenger, Austin Anderson, were able to escape from the burning plane and walk to a nearby roadway to get help.  However, both Hannah and Austin suffered severe injuries and were life-flighted to hospitals in Kansas City and Wichita, respectively. Hannah was listed in serious but stable condition, suffering primarily from burns on 28% of her body. Austin’s burn injuries were far more severe, especially those sustained to his lungs. At about 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Austin went to be with the Lord.”

Our hearts go out to all the family of the victims and the Luce family.

Ron wrote a heartfelt blog post about the tragedy that you can read here.
