    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.
