A Kansas family's vacation turned into a nightmare when a status board fell at the Birmingham Airport Friday afternoon, killing a 10 year old boy and injuring other members of his family. The father of the boy today released a statement on his Facebook page "Words cannot describe the pain we feel. Thank you all for the love and support. Keep praying and praying and praying. For anyone attending STM mass this morning, please wear your favorite sports team shirt. Luke loved sports! I miss and love Luke so very much. I love you Luke!!!" A press release today from the city of Birmingham said the FBI Birmingham Citizens Academy Alumni Association will open a fund for the family of the boy on Monday at all area branches of Cadence Bank. "I am grateful for these citizens coming together to help this family. This terrible tragedy has deeply saddened us all and I am proud that we have good men and women in this community who will stand in the gap as we wait on answers from the Airport Authority," said Mayor William Bell. The family was returning home to Overland Park Kansas from a trip to Destin Florida when a flight status board fell trapping the boy along with his Mother and other siblings. The children were transported to Children's Hospital where the 10 year old boy later died. The mother was transported to U.A.B. Hospital where she is in serious condition. The children are in fair condition. The Birmingham Airport Authority held their regular board meeting this morning. No details of the meeting were released.
