t-time Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Could you imagine living the rest of your life knowing that because you ran away from home as a child, 2 men lost their lives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Thats unfair. And I certainly hope nobody ever tells that child that the officers died beause of him. The officers died because that night their aircraft decided to stop flying not beause a 9 year old went out to play without telling his mother. At this point there is nothing at all to suggest they were orbiting at 75' over the city. Although I have seen numerous topics elsewhere that within an hour of the accident they already had showboating and poor piloting chalked up as the causes. Officers do die responding to assist real victims. Very rarely is it ever the fault of the person they were headed to assist. What I hope to see is that in about 15 years we see this kid graduating the APD academy. Edited November 13, 2012 by Flying Pig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
