I’d say tomorrow being a new business day and much of this developing over the weekend, all the planning will be done tomorrow for what the week looks like.

No doubt like in many cyclone emergencies the ABC will likely run rolling coverage from the Brisbane studios, and possibly other QLD stations if needed.

I thought that some of the images of the airline that caught fire at ~~Dallas~~ Denver airport will perhaps be remembered for their symbolism of America today.

A group of passengers standing on the wing of the plane with the word America in the background, trying to escape the shit fire that the place has become 😉

Selfish assholes. I hope their personal items are worth the lives of their fellow passengers, or the weight on their conscience if the situation had been worse.

Wrong SAS cited by Sky News UK and The Guardian in reporting the Heathrow shutdown, most likely an error from Reuters. Sky put the item with a wrong pic up in the pushback carousel for a couple of minutes, before pulling that slide down.

That’s the thing though, I don’t think it was particularly rushed. They had reported on it during the 5pm news, information was already well known by the time this would have been reported.

During the intro, Ursula says the plane crashed into the tarmac but it didn’t, it was the grass field around the airport. Small details like that.

To be fair I’ve seen some of his reporting before and he doesn’t particularly have a way with words, so it’s not surprising, but he seems better with scripted packages and not breaking news type reporting.
