I am more concerned at the Media's need to find a 'Hero' in EVERY FUCKING STORY, while being simultaneously amused that pretty much all media outlets thought it was 'amazing there were no horrific casualties' all the while sounding Really, Really Disappointed.
This gets me every time too. Recall when that dam bridge fell (
in the US, recently)? Well apparently there was a bus full of children on it. But the bus made it to the other side.
Guess what the media did (
looking at you FOX), they created diagrams and charts and animations of
WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED, making sure during the presentation not to say that this is not what happened. Until the end.
15 minutes of this.If you had been flipping the stations.... You would have thought that a bus full of children had fallen when the bridge did, each one hitting random pieces of steel (
really detailed animation, rag doll physics used here) and getting crushed and drown in the river and concrete.
