US AIrways...The Media Should Keep their Traps Shut Until..
Edited on Thu Jan-15-09 04:01 PM by rsmith6621


they can get their facts straight.....In twenty minutes of coverage on MSNBC they have gone from reporting the aircraft was a regional jet like an Embrae 175 to a large Cessna finally an Airbus.....they said it left EWR-Newark now it is is LGA.They said it was UAL...

They just cant help themselves I know.They think they are aviation experts

1. I had to turn off the television after they said that the video on the left showing
the plane above the water was 15 minute old and the video on the right showing it had sunk was live. All that jabbering about geese, and I had to come here to DU to see photos showing that people got out of the plane! I guess video of an empty plane doesn't get as high ratings as video of a sinking plane full of passengers! I'm feeling better about this now, I hope everyone got out!

2. Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, GOTTA BE FIRST!!!! Screw the facts!!! Gotta be FIRST!
It's so...OFFENSIVE, but there's nothing to be done for it.

Turn down the volume and look at the pictures.
