[hedgehog]

What else would you call a live shot of two men dangling from the World Trade Center?

[Beaverhausen]

1. who is dangling?

some of us aren't in front of our TVs. Thanks!

[louis-t]

3. Window washers. Scaffolding broke.

[Glitterati]

4. 2 window cleaners hanging by cable after the platform failed

and it's really not to be made fun of.

These men are dangling 69 stories up and no one even knows if they are OK because the rescuers haven't gotten to them yet.

[hedgehog]

6. I'm not making fun- just commenting that it's rather creepy

to have a live camera on them - sort of like waiting for the crash on a race track.

[Glitterati]

9. Might I suggest a thread title change, then?

Because, really, it sounds like you're making fun.

[Ykcutnek]

2. I'd call it a breaking news event.

[Boom Sound 416]

5. Anything but porn

[LanternWaste]

7. Newsworthy. Concerning. Human interest.

"What else would you call a live shot of..."

Newsworthy. Concerning. Human interest.

I imagine we often see only that which we wish to.

[Nye Bevan]

8. Weird thread title.

It's breaking news. Did you watch TV on 9/11?

[NCTraveler]

10. Yep. 9/11 news was a straight up gang bang.

[shenmue]

11. Dang

No nekkid people?

[GusBob]

12. Look who else is looking for cheap attention?

(look in mirror)

Irony can be so ironic

[Brickbat]

13. WTF is wrong with you?

[WinkyDink]

14. I'd call it horrifying, and I'd leave off the breathless, anticipatory exclamation point.

[msanthrope]

15. RESCUED---through a window on the 68th floor. They are unharmed. nt

[hedgehog]

16. I checked the news - the two men were rescued unharmed.

But if things had gone bad, would we have been shown a live shot of these men falling to their deaths? There are better ways to inform people in a situation such as this. Look at it this way - MSNBC would never have been permitted to actually show live porn, but two men in danger of falling to their deaths seems to be OK.

[Orrex]

17. Perhaps the media can submit future stories for your approval before running them.
