Media Fatalities?
The public's interest in hurricanes is extremely high, especially these past few, very active, years. And while watching this coverage we've all seen reporters doing stupid stuff while being blown around in the wind...sometimes its funny, sometimes its dangerous. With Katrina having all the earmarks of the long-awaited 'BIG ONE,' does anyone else think the odds of the first real media injury or fatality are high with this dangerous landfalling hurricane. For a long time, the networks have gotten away with sending meteorological laymen into the storm to send their viewers the pictures they want to see. Unfortunately, Katrina is a powerhouse of a hurricane - and getting stronger...back down to 942mb- and there are a lot of low-lying and extremely hurricane damage-prone areas in her path. Thoughts?
