Yesterday, at the airport I train at, a Cessna 172 went off the runway after a bounced landing, collapsing the front landing gear. There were two people onboard, with no injuries.

A later article said it was an instructor and a student. The plane in this incident was the same one I trained in last year, up until I switched schools and instructor, which makes it all rather "weird".
I downloaded and listened to the tower communication, and it appears they were doing touch & goes, and had done about three prior to this landing. Anyways, just got me thinking "what happens to a CFI after something like this?"
Just curious.
