May 1, 200818 yr Very sad news, thoughts and prayers for the entire community and the family that lost a loved one today.
May 1, 200818 yr Rough day. Please say your prayers for the family for their loss. For the bus driver and all of the students that were on the bus as well as their families. For the driver of the dump truck and his family. For all of the rescue workers who had to work the scene and will have it etched in their memories. And everyday, when your loved one leaves, give them one extra hug, like it might be the last one you give them. Consider it done, my friend. May God bless them all.
May 1, 200818 yr A very sad day...continuous prayers as the children on the bus heal from their physical injuries. Many more for the emotional scars they will bear. My heart goes out to the community and especially to those close to the young man lost today.
May 1, 200818 yr SHAME ON WLWT CHANNEL 5!! The parents, school and community effected by this tragedy have asked that the name of the deceased boy not be made public today. Having scanned all the Cincinnati market channels and their websites, as well as the KY Enquirer's website, it appears they all have honored this simple request except...WLWT, Channel 5. For some reason, WLWT felt the need to disregard the wishes of their community in the name of "scooping" the other news agencies. Even WKYT in Lexington is showing this most basic level of respect. The right of the people to know, should not supersede basic human compassion. The pursuit of "Breaking News" and the desire to scoop the competition should not come before the pursuit of dignity and the desire to do what's right. Shame on you WLWT! "News 5: Where the news comes first...and decency comes last." :mad:

I was going to say something good about their coverage this morning, but after this I don't think so.
