So its a transformer but how come the media is just not bothering with story |
|
A building has collasped due to a transformer explosion in New York, I thought this would be a major story, but as soon as the media found out it wasnt a terror attack, they seem to have dropped the story.
Seems kinda strange to me.

3. Yeah, I'm not getting this at all ... |

CNN - usually the first to break into regular programming with the most TRIVIAL of news stories - don't even have a mention on the crawl.
WTF?

7. Dick figured out that he couldn't connect Iran, so it's dead in the water. |
|
That's my best guess. Probably not too far off from the truth either. BHN

Way odd.
Edit to add...MSNBC broke into the afternoon news to report on a jet ski accident somewhere...and nothing on this? Stinks.

8. I would assume because most likely there are no injured or dead. |
|
If there were some dead people it would probably be on the news but as it stands it's just a dead transformer not exactly something people care about.
