Didn't see that coming.

whiterrabbit		2011-12-27 06:34:45 AM

The man lacked vision!

Darth_Lukecash		2011-12-27 06:37:36 AM

Did they try calling out "Marco?"

Mad Scientist		2011-12-27 06:39:35 AM

I can't see what the problem is.

Iceman_Cometh		2011-12-27 06:52:31 AM

Maybe it's just a bluff.

WHAT??

You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek. But first... first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see things, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... a cow... on the roof of a cotton house, ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation.

He is said to sometimes wear dark glasses and carries a red and white cane.

They can't see it, but many blind users have reading software that allows them to hear the web page read back to an error has occured. Please contact your network administrator immediately. HEY THIS TRANNY MIDGET PORN IS GREAT!

This happened to my uncle Charlie on the Boston MTA. His fate is still unlearned.

Many believe it's true. I've been told this on several occasions.

dj1s		2011-12-27 08:51:23 AM

How much vision could the man have had? He was on his way to Ala-freaking-bama, y'all!

indylaw		2011-12-27 09:05:24 AM

He's been in the dark about the situation the whole time.

catchow		2011-12-27 09:16:02 AM

Too late for HOTY candidacy?

Ever hear of screen reading software? My mother used to use the computer and she was totally blind.

belhade		2011-12-27 09:36:26 AM

Came for Kingston Trio, very satisfied.

mexican bathtub cheese		2011-12-27 10:06:32 AM

I'm pretty sure what it is from context, but is really too much trouble to mention his race when GIVING A PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION of the missing person?

BalugaJoe		2011-12-27 10:12:45 AM

Maybe he joined the Tuskeegee Airforce.

Ever seen Hellen Keller's house? (new window)

Why Yes I Am A Wizard		2011-12-27 10:58:42 AM

Are they blind to the possibility there is more to this than meets the eye?

I do not see why the police are just standing around navel gazing.

YonderScott		2011-12-27 11:09:04 AM

The article has to be wrong. If he got on a train for New Orleans, from DC and Charlotte was a stop...that train stops in Birmingham. It's called the Crescent and it runs daily from NY to NO. The only possible explanation would be that he mistakenly got on the Carolinian which runs from NY to Charlotte daily. And that could make sense because provided the Carolinian was running on time, it rarely does, that would have given him a 6-7 hour layover in Charlotte.

They probably didn't think they had to since they posted a picture.
