Things I have learned about airplane crashes into the sea, thanks to CNN and their marathon coverage

Last edited Fri Jan 2, 2015, 09:06 PM - Edit history (2)

-bad weather is not good for searching for lost airplanes
-there is often bad weather over there, searching is harder in bad weather, and at night
-when airplanes disappear there is often much searching for it, lots and lots of searching
-searching with airplanes is a good way to search for other airplanes lost at sea, and boats also
-while searching with airplanes and boats it is good to look out the window
-searching in deep water requires people to go under the water to search for the lost airplane
-when the searching is over and the airplane is found there will be further searching, and an investigation

So many other things I have learned...thank you CNN, good to know there is nothing more important going on in the world, like a growing Congressional race scandal or anything like that.

Keep up the excellent work, certainly the GOP can not get enough of your "coverage".

Mr. Scalise appreciates it no end.

and where I live the facility subscribes to the other cable package, I don't get CNN, so it was nice you could share all that info with me. I have been able to glean some of the same from watching BBC and Media Asia.

water then divers can not go in the water and must wait until the currents are less strong.

Why must CNN repeat the obvious on a mind- numbing cycle of inanity, are they preparing the viewership for when they report on real news and hope their minds have become so numb they will be too weak to notice?

They all repeat. CNN just happens to be really good at it. I'm not sure they would recognize real news when it comes along.

- everyone usually dies.
- the bodies are bloated (then they usually say why unnecessarily)
- it's important to find the black box

CNN is so damn repetitive.
