I knew it all along. Hope they have to pay back thousands and thousands for what it cost everybody in time and money. Air fuel alone for planes monitoring situation will be over 50 grand.

Well they wanted the limelight, now they got it.....in spades...lol I don't feel sorry one bit. Whole nation was worried for that boy.

Whats next.....boy accidentally gargles with drano
