I don’t i have looked for it but i just don’t see it
My husband and I are so sorry for these peoples loss. I hope their insurance will
cover it and that they recover from this ordeal financially. We must realize that
so many are struggling right now.
Good Morning Grace.
Will you people please keep your “cotton picking”
comments to yourselves!
I see the face very clear in the top right of 28…. Spooky really
WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING??????
Does anyone see the face in picture 42?
in picture 25, top right hand corner, looks like an upside down, mournful face…..
I do not think a fire extinguisher would have mattered, one way or the other. Glad no one was hurt.
Thanks to all the fire departments for your rapid response. Thank God that Gary got off the picker in time to be safe. We are truly blessed.

oh wow! Jamie, I do see a childs face with his hands close to his mouth like he’s blowing on it in picture 32. That is kinda freaky……….
Looks like a cotton picker on fire to me …
In picture 32, does anyone else see the face high above cotton picker blowing smoke. Looks like a kids face to me, or maybe it is a walrus.
