WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE WARMING
TREND AND
WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE WEEKEND
COMING UP.
>>> LOOK AT THIS, BALLOON POPPING UP RIGHT HERE, THERE IS
A LOT OF FINGER POINTING GOING ON AND WE
KNOW POLICE ARE INVOLVED IN THIS
CASE AND NBC REPORTER JULIA IS LIVE WITH WHAT IS NEXT.
>> Reporter: JUST SINCE LAST
NIGHT POLICE MADE AT LEAST ONE AJEST
on the strength and financial
AARREST AND TWO PEOPLE ON A BOAT CAUGHT ON CELL PHONE VIDEO AND
POPPING BALLOONS, AND THE PIECES
FALL IN THE WATER HERE AND
SOMEONE
CAPTURED THE POLLUTING TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
JUST AFTER 4:00 AND WE THEY WERE USED AS DECORATION FOR
A MAN WHO WAS PROPOSING
TO HIS GIRLFRIEND. AND TOM RESPONDED AND SAID IT IS
HORRIBLE THE BALLOONS ARE POPPED
IN THE OCEAN, BUT HE ALSO WANTED
TO SAY HE WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE.
>> FIRST I WANT TO PUT MY HEART
OUT AND SAY IT IS SO IMPORTANT
TO TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.
>> THE EVENT PLANNING COMPANY
ALSO DEFLECTED RESPONSIBILITY AND
SAID IN A STATEMENT, OUR
BALLOONS DECORATED THE BOAT AND
CLEANS UP
AS WE ALWAYS DO AND WE ARE NEVER
IN CHARGE OF REMOVING BALLOON DECORATIONS AND NOW WE ARE
INVESTIGATING THE SITUATION AND
THEY ADDED THEY WILL NO LONGER USE
BALLOONS BY THE SEA. THE BALLOONS
ENDANGER THE ECO SYSTEM AND KILL
MARINE LIFE THAT CAN CONFUSE THE
RUBBER AS FOOD.
OFFICERS SHOWED UP HERE
YESTERDAY MORNING, AND THEY ARE NOW INVESTIGATING AND
SAYING IN AN ONLINE POST THEY
WOULD
USE ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO
INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. KEEP IN
MIND, IN FLORIDA IT IS ILLEGAL
TO RELEASE BALLOONS INTO THE AIR,
