150 went straight into an empty school

That's going to cost us.

Possibly. Especially when the evening news is putting up an aerial photo
and pointing out all the stuff in the photo that the 150 "narrowly missed".
Of course, they failed to point out that each object they circled was a very
tiny target in a vast area of non-targets. Even in a relatively congested
area where this accident happened, the odds of the 150 hitting a person were
remarkably small.

This was on the KIRO evening news, by the way. George commented that "that
reporter seems to know his or her stuff". Since he didn't refer to a
specific article, I don't know which reporter he's referring to; probably
Rick Price though, and yes...he's their "aviation correspondent" and does
have an above-average knowledge of things related to aviation.

But that doesn't stop the rest of their crew from stupid reporting. And
yes, I blame (at least in part) stupid reporting for some of general
aviation's woes.
