Though, to be fair, analysts are already pointing out that the two crashes are dissimilar and the actual platform may not have had anything to do with at least one of them. I'm not convinced, but I'm willing to at least try to keep an open mind until we see the investigation results.However! I think it may be safe to speculate that this kid is invincible.(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) From:zonereyrie Date:July 1st, 2009 03:03 pm (UTC) **(Link)**Well, I was mostly going for dark humor there. ;-)As for the kid, have you seen Unbreakable?
