mid eighties checking in.
Fun fact, the WKRP Cincinnati first annual turkey drop is an homage to a real event in Cincinnati, where they tried to release 2 million balloons.
The resulting chaos killed two people.
I feel this is not a fair assessment.
2 people did die, but not because of the balloons.
2 people were out on the lake and their boat sank, the balloons hampered the rescue efforts.
Before anyone gets any ideas that the balloons crushed someone or suffocated them.
