    I always wondered...when people say this, do you guys actually pray? Or is it just a saying?

    Yeah, for the balloon. Was the owner(s) supposed to have it more secure than what it was? Did it fly into any type of protected/federal airspace? Anything. :confused:

    The boy in question is the littlest one in the lighter blue shirt.

    If the kid survives, CPS will out there tomorrow. If he didn't survive then they will be out there on Monday.

    I guarantee that shirt is in poor taste.

    I won't lie, the "Go Falcon" shirt made me laugh.

    Edit: Would have been better if it said "I believe I can fly"

    I actually said a little prayer. It went something like this.

    Lord, please watch over this child and guide him back safely to his family.

    wow, how fast people can come up with stuff like that t-shirt. :confused:

    No idea but that's prolly not the priority for them...finding the kid is the priority. I would think they will talk about it later.

    It shows that with breaking news stories the news stations just report off what they hear, or off pure speculation. Its a live event so there isnt any journalistic research. They're hearing it how we're hearing it, just that they're reporting it. And different news stations can have their different takes off the same incident.

    Just like when Michael Jackson died, there was all kinds of rampant speculation of the cause, publicists twisting the story, such a rush to get a headline first they just reported the first thing they heard. Most of it BS until the official word came in.

    I appreciate the sentiment, but after watching that YouTube video, I would’ve said something like “Lord, please watch over this child and guide him back safely to some other family.”

    I know you're attempting the look on the brighter side approach, and we all have our different ways of handling things. And its "Well it aint MY problem!" kind of thinking. And its not, just you seem to be doing it all "wrong"...


    Like this, this is the "right" way to do it...

    So the emphasis becomes at what point and altitude did the "Box" come off.
