The 50,000 figure was an estimate of how many worked in the trade center on any given day. Never was quoted as how many were dead. Additionally, as a journalist, I'm never a fan of unsubstantiated material making it on the air, but in the midst of a disaster, it happens. Personally I'd rather have the information available to me and do some evaluation based on the evidence presented at a time like 9/11, but not everyone is capable of analysis....

FWIW, CNN here is not broadcasting anything from 9/11. I'm getting CNN international. No other stations are doing it either.


Funny that. I'm watching CNN international in Belgium and it's about sod-all else.

In all honesty I completely agree with you.

But I'm mostly posting to award you with the most creative spelling of beaucoup I've ever seen!

Hah... I think 99% of the people who use that word don't know how to spell it - and probably have never even seen it in print

Not to mention people spelling voila as whallaa!

Youreeka!

I watched like the first hour of the recorded coverage since I never got the chance to see it before. Overall, I am quite impressed with their bandwith! I am at work, and don't have access to a TV so its nice to be able to watch the coverage of today's events.
