Not only did reporters not know anything, they didn't research anything. I like Shep but he was the worst, Fox was the worst, reporting based on unverified rumors and heresay.
The altitude thing made me switch from FOX Some woman expert said 6k feet altitude, Shep replied it looks more like 2,000 feet and she never explained that his height indeed was 2,000 feet. It was awful; no one did any calculations at all.
Like you say, maybe the problem is it's math and science and we were relying on heads that merely talk, not think.
Been called too much of a pronoid but I also feel the story is legit. They're an adventurous bunch who appear smart and eccentric and probably look suspicious to a lot of folks.
Glad the boy's alive and the family is still together.
It does sound like a very strange invention, but thinking out of the box is always needed for real progress! I agree with you and everyone who is most happy the kids are all safe at home! Also, completely agree with your assessment, “They’re an adventurous bunch who appear smart and eccentric and probably look suspicious to a lot of folks.”
As for me, it is the type of “live life large” “bunch” that I have a real enjoyment being around (but I haven’t watched the kids’ video yet!)
