TheCinciKid 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sorry, last day of a PME (Professional Military Education) course for the Air Force, so I'm a bit tipsy tonight, but I really hope Jaime (Checky) and DinkDonk from Buffalo are okay. I can't believe Anderson Cooper is up at this hour and reporting it on CNN. I guess it makes sense since he's their biggest personality, but still it's pretty late for him. I pray for all those who lost their lives, and their families tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah, me too. Even though I know this is very, very, very unlikely I still hate flying and turbulence puts knots in my stomach. My flight from Denver to Phoenix Sunday was the worst flight I have ever been on. The flight is around 2 hours and I'm not kidding, half of that was spent being thrown around.Same here. When I was a kid though it was like nothing. Not that I'm bad now, but I don't like turbulence. Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of people died on 9-11 and this happened in NY also. I don't even know why they had to mention it. Just trying to draw a connection to a story that will get them better ratings. Sorry to hear about the crash though. Link to post Share on other sites

SGFULTON83 0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah, the media always has to dig something to make a story "more interesting" so people will watch their coverage. My prayers go out to ALL affected by this tragic event. Link to post Share on other sites
DinkDonk 1 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah, the media always has to dig something to make a story "more interesting" so people will watch their coverage. My prayers go out to ALL affected by this tragic event.I absolutely abhor the way the coverage has been handled in this and is always handled in these situations. Just bring people the news without sensationalizing anything just for ratings. If you bring me the news the best, I promise I'll watch your station, please leave the gimmicks out.
