Just when you thought Virginia Tech had dealt with enough adversity:

BLACKSBURG, Va., Aug. 19 — Twenty three people, most or all of them Virginia Tech students, were taken to hospitals Sunday from an off-campus apartment house after showing signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. …
The incident, one day before the start of classes, came as students returned to a campus marked by the killings of 32 students and faculty members in April.
Witnesses said the five monoxide victims who remained hospitalized Sunday night appeared to be unconscious or semiconscious when they were pulled Sunday morning from an apartment in a privately owned building here.
