BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Tragedy struck the military community of Scott Air Force Base this past weekend after a Bridgerton-themed drinking game claimed the lives of 17 Airmen. 

“We ask for the nation’s thoughts and prayers as we deal with this tremendous loss,” said Maj. Tilly Donovan, head of public affairs for the 375th Air Mobility Wing. “While this is not the first calamity to afflict the Air Force inspired by a historical romance television series, this is sure to be the worst of the season. We can only hope that social ruin will not befall the families of those Airmen whose dance cards will never again be filled.”

At a midnight vigil for the fallen Airmen, commander Col. John Poole addressed the wing.

“I too was shocked and saddened by the actions of Lady Featherington this season. We must take this chance to come together and learn from her mistakes. Our Air Force family will continue to strive for excellence and place service before self.”

He quickly added, “oh, and my condolences to the families of those we lost.”
