Car crash during live news
« on: September 17, 2004, 11:15:37 pm »
Three steps to good TV

1st.  News reporter covering a story live
2nd.  Story is about a dangerous traffic intersection
3rd.  Isn't it obvious?

Absolutely .... I , myself can't think of a better way to stress the dangers of that intersection , than by hiring a good inexpensive stunt crew !

With all the Reality based shows on television now, the only comedy you ever get to see is on the evening news.

I live in Florida ... and we've had a rough couple of weeks with all the stormy weather and such ... but watching the news , you'd swear the Gates of Hell had opened up, and the Rapture was soon to follow.   >:(

1. Why did that guy "turn" with oncoming traffic?
2. Why was he all the way in to the street and still facing broadside to traffic?

I think the car that was hit by the truck meant to go straight, rather then turn.

But either way, he was stupid for not seeing the Truck coming.  Even I could see it coming in the video from wayyyy down the street.

"Yes...it appears that guy in the car in injured and waving for help now.  Are you still getting this in the studio?  I think he's on fire now, and appears to be tangled in the seatbelt and can't exit the vehicle.  This is amazing footage!"

I think the driver of the car was paying attention to the camera crew, and not to oncoming traffic like they were supposed to.  Just goes to show you, STOP RUBBERNECKING!
