Over the television screen ...

   “This is Robin Seymore, at the Ann Arbor Burn Center.  The word here is that two college age boys, both believed to be enrolled in the University of Michigan, were putting the finishing touches on a rocket they were building.  A girlfriend of one of the students said it was supposed to be launched this coming New Year’s Eve, equipped with several side launchers, to explode into the sky for a fireworks extravaganza.  But there will be no New Year’s Eve celebration for these two.  The one has lost his sight and one leg, but is expected to survive.   The condition of the other is uncertain, other than the fact that he is still fighting for his life.   As is the case with a large number of burn victims, this one is also a result of a careless cigarette smoker.  Thankfully, in this case, there was a third party present who was able to act quickly.   Rescue teams always have a very difficult job, but their main concern is that they’re called in time, so they can do their job.   In this case, they were able to save a life, and hopefully they will be able to save two.  This is Robin Seymore, at the Ann Arbor Burn Center.  Back to you, Loren.”
