They should be bringing in spotlights and heavy equipment, just like they did in New York after 9/11.

There are twenty missing people.

When major news organizations beg for average people to send in videos of an event like they are now regarding the bridge collapse. Do they pay money? I'm talking like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and these big guys. Not the National Enquirer type rags.

Doesn't God choose when we die, so isn't it not going to make a difference?

Dodgy phone-in competitions, framing the queen, lying about old geezers dying onscreen, etc etc etc.

Blimey Charlie! Television isn't very good recently is it?

What do you think? Has it always been as bad as this (and we just didn't know it before)? Is it trying to be more edgy because it's "old media" to the internet's "new media"? Is its useful life-expectancy running out? What on earth is going on eh?

I have always thought death by drowning would be so painful. My heart goes out to the families. Why would they let heavy traffic continue to drive on a bridge under construction?

Do a lot of ships use the Mississippi for transporting people/goods?

Here's how i know if a news program is fair and balanced. If the host doesn't refer to name calling...ie: "liberal or conservative"...and focus on the news itself, than it's probably not bias.
So, people, tell me who uses those words perpetually by the minute?

The way people talk about Bush, I'm reminded of Johnson. (I presonally think all of them are crooks)

I'm watching the news coverage right now and it seems pretty chaotic and no one really knows what's going on.

I get fed up with reading "leave them at home"! I agree if it is your honeymoon - even I would leave them at home for that. But you can take your children on holiday and still have a wonderful time. I love watching my girls in the disco, and when I want to do something, I put them in the club. Whats wrong with a bit of give and take?

Re: Concert held for Madeleine on Sunday in which organisers stated they hoped to raise £35,000.

'Concert organiser Toni Perduno, of Melton, said: "Ticket sales have been going very well."'

Few days later .... in the Leicester Mercury:

"More than 80 people paid between £10 and £15, with children allowed in for free, to enjoy more than eight hours of music."

80 people ....... interesting their idea of ticket sales going well LOL. I havent see an exaggerated quote like this well since Gerry himself last opened his mouth.
