I'm old enough to know that a writer for the AP should have gooder writing skills then myself.

Consider the context. A breaking news story. They had so few details they got everything wrong.

Reports that a C-17 transport plane crashed in Texas were incorrect, an Air Force spokesman told CNN affiliates.


DHOOO!

CNN

Search called off after plane crash deemed false

Emergency crews called off a search in Texas for the wreckage of a C-17 transport plane after reports Monday of a possible crash proved unfounded.

Callers to the Olney Police Department said they saw a low-lying plane, and a spokesman for Sheppard AFB initially reported a crash, but then retracted the report.

Air Force officials said an Air Force C-17 had been flying at low altitude near Olney, but the plane returned safely to Altus Air Force Base in southwest Oklahoma

One sentence per paragraph: check.
Simplistic writing: check.
Bad news: check.

Yep, techs must work for CNN now.
