Leading this week’s show is a story of horrific proportion. Please support the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation www.eesf.org and their mission through their online and printed educational programs for kids. In the last two weeks there have been accidents involving two children that most likely could have been prevented if both children and parents were aware of how to ride escalators safely. It’s not a feel good show today on any level.
