A gulfstream jet carrying Nike executives has a landing gear problem
and is
trying to burn fuel to land at Hillsboro, Oregon airport. On CNN.

What is the motive behind CNN's coverage of aviation incidents?

It's almost like they are deliberately trying to give aviation a black
eye
at every possible opportunity.

CNN wasn't the only one showing this one! Fox, MSNBC, CBS -- all had it
on. I guess the pilot gave it -1G, followed quickly by +3G to dislodge
the gear. The RH main appeared to be jammed against the inner gear door.

I'm surprised CNN had time between all their commercials to show it.
Throughout the day I randomly turn the TV on and channel surf, and almost
every time I go to CNN there is a commercial running.
