NYC crane collapse destroys building

[2muchcoffeeman]

Live coverage on Fox News and the NYC web sites. CNN and MSNBC are overflowing with fail.

4 people known dead (per WABC.com and WNBC.com), still several trapped inside.

15-story-tall crane in midtown Manhattan.

MSNBC is a joke.

News channels are becoming kind of like my newspaper.

If it didn't happen between 8-5 on a weekday, it didn't happen.

Address?

Turtle Bay or thereabouts. 51st and 2nd.

Tornado hits Atlanta and MSNBC could care less.
Happens in NYC and **BOOM** it's the most important thing going...

Unless you read the first post where it said it wasn't even on there when Fox news' site was already all over it.

But you just keep on going.

ZING!

Like I said, both CNN and MSNBC were overflowing with fail. Hell, this has to be the worst weekend in CNN's history.

I read, I ignored. Problem with that?

Other than you contradicted the facts? Nah, I got nuthin.

I thought I heard on the Weather Channel this morning that CNN had taken some damage and had lost power and they couldn't cover the story of its own building as a result.
Not to make excuses for CNN, but if they don't have power, they can't broadcast. It seems like they also had to kick the studio coverage to NYC as well.

Couldn't they pick up a local feed like they do for out-of-town breaking news? It'd seem silly to do it in your own town, until they (or the local feed) explained that CNN was knocked out of commission.
