hope they dont get their socks wet.

Mountains give you a real sense of adventure!!!!

Which one should get the headline and which one actually does are different answers, unfortunately.

Following that logic, I voted incorrectly

 

[leftyman]

dont forget the dog.

 

[FoBoT]

did you mean to link a news story or something?

 

[Chryso]

Depends on where you live. If one is local then that one will probably get headlines.

Wait, one of the stories had a dog? That one will win.

I think he's commenting on how sites like CNN are showing the 3 climbers stuck as their main news story where the train explosion is getting limited coverage.

Personally, I could care less which one I see with the huge picture on CNN.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

I would prefer a story about puppies

 

[FoBoT]

oh, i don't go to CNN

drudge doesn't have either story

let's see what foxnews has on the web

[ForumMaster]

depends whether the white guys fought each other to the death.

 

[Lonyo]

This thread is slightly biased, it's more like 66 foreigners hit by a terrorist train bombing vs 3 US people stuck on a mountain.
I think it's more to do with one being domestic, and one being foreign.

Of course, it's front page on the BBC

Let's see:

We have one story that is in the US, is ongoing, and will get viewers constantly refreshing.
Or we have one story that happened on another continent with a limited amount of information being released.

News is a business. How does this suprise you?

No, I think they just cuddled naked in a sleeping bag with their dog...

nothing surprising. and its definitely not limited news...bbc seems to be on top of it.

Well if the white people are still alive, then there's hope for their survival. However, I assume the 66 are already dead, making it somewhat of a moot point.

What about the others that went through the trauma?

It is thought three-quarters of the 750 people on the train were Pakistanis, as were most of the dead.
