Jet crashes at San Francisco airport
BBC, but pretty much everyone's reporting on this right now.
A trans-Pacific flight arriving from Seoul crash landed at an airport in San Francisco today, utterly wrecking the plane, tearing off the tail fin and one of the engines (!) in the process. Yet according to early reports from evacuated passengers, it seems that no one was seriously injured. Thank goodness!

In a sad follow-up to yesterday's story, the BBC reports:

How does "no one was injured" get mistaken for "most everyone was injured"? >_> That's some silly reporting right there.

Unfortunately, the BBC and most other modern news sites edit their news articles rather than issuing retraction statements in follow-up stories, so if you click the link in yesterday's post, you'll find today's article instead of what they had there yesterday. Yesterday they hadn't reported on a single death or critical condition patient, but today they've reported on two of the former and five of the latter.

So apparently on the South Korean TV news, when they reported this event on the day it happened, the anchorman said something along the lines of, "Two people died, but don't worry, they were only Chinese people."
China was not pleased. The anchorman has since been fired. |
