watching the news live when i heard the news...12/13:jaw:
My heart goes out to that 1 family

Actually it's 1 for 13 and the one isn't doing so well. Can't believe the Governor repeated a rumor without first having it verified.

and he supposedly waited 2.5 hours before filling the families in??? Is this true???

Gotta do damage control before you notify the families of thier kin.

From what I've read "someone" (Dick Durbin by any chance?) tapped into a wireless call that came from the mineshaft to the command center. "They" claim that the initial report was that 12 were found alive; rescue workers say that the initial report to the command center was 12 INDIVIDUALS were found. The mining company's rescue team kept a tight lip until they removed all the bodies and knew exactly what they were dealing with. The dark mineshaft and safety equipment hampered their ability to make positive identification and determine who was "officially" dead. Brain dead Governor showed up at the command center ready to scoop up some glory in the triumphant rescue of the 12, only to arrive just in time to witness the removal of the bodies.

i was watching the news live last night. everyone, every station said 12 alive, 1 dead, but it is the opposite, 1 alive 12 dead. Even the Govenor was confused. Sorry for the wrong info everyone, but it was what every station said, until later on that nght

You were a victim of unconfirmed and careless news reporting FM.......aren't we all.

FutureMarine · 01-04-2006, 08:34 PM

No, this is no fault to any media stations. There was just word passed, and what i personally think is that a conversation was overheard, and one person heard...ALIVE!!!THEY"RE ALL ALIVE!!!! and that is how everything passed. That is personally what i believe

FutureMarine · 01-04-2006, 08:34 PM

I believe it was just bad comminication

Dont worry Outrider, we probably do agree on something...just kidding:nod:

Outriderdark · 01-04-2006, 09:18 PM

No, I get you, but I don't think they should have beamed it around the world without confirmation given that it was an overheard conversation.
But they do that all the time.
It was sad cause every newspaper at the local WaWa this afternoon had the false story on the front page.

FutureMarine · 01-04-2006, 09:24 PM

Yes, everyone just wanted to bad to believe this was true, and with all the euphoria, it must have been very difficult to break the real news

Outriderdark · 01-04-2006, 09:31 PM

From what I understand they struggled with how and when to do it. Glad it wasn't my job.

FutureMarine · 01-04-2006, 09:33 PM

There should not have been a when. I understand it is hard, of course it is, but that news needs to be shared before the euphoric feelings of the families kicked in. It should have been notified right when it was known that 1/13 was alive

Outriderdark · 01-04-2006, 09:42 PM

You are right, sir.

FutureMarine · 01-04-2006, 09:48 PM

welll what do you know ORD...We could agree!!! No im just kidding around

:right:

FutureMarine · 01-04-2006, 11:24 PM

Amazing how quick a rumor can do so much damage!!

Beer Forever · 01-05-2006, 04:47 PM

I think we can give the media a little credit for running with the false story. I saw on the front page of the USA "12 survived"
