Now they say the basket was with the crashed balloon, just not the child. They just said they are moving the search away from the area near the house, they are almost certain he is not there
here is an quote from the msnbc article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33330516/ns/us_news-life/ I would guess there may be some fines. Maybe. how do they know that's the box, not some object?
can someone/anyone throw out a brief summary of what happened here?? i read a short article earlier when this was breaking news and didn't understand it
Because 150,000 people die every day, thousands of which are equally, if not much more tragic than this story, and these same people don't bat an eyelash. The people only care about this story because it's made the news and has a unique aspect to it. If this kid had died by tripping and hitting his head on the counter, it would not be news. There's no reason to care about this story any more than any other unforeseen death of unnatural causes. People aren't losing any sleep over this kid. Why do these people pray for this kid but not every other person that faces possible tragedy? And if they do pray for every person in the world on a regular basis, what is special about this kid that he's not covered by their concern and prayer that they say in order to seek God's protection for the world population? There's nothing special about this kid other than he's found a new way to kill himself (that is, if the whole thing isn't a hoax).
