Subject: BS: How Long Can An SUV Burn?
I do not mean to belittle the threats we face. This is about how the media covers incidents and how we precieve what the media presents to us.
How long can an SUV Burn?
When I heard about the attack at Glasgow around 2:30 this afternoon, Eastern Daylight Savings Time (US), news reports said the flames had been put out in the area of the "incident" not all that long after the explosion. I went for a kayak paddle and two hours later turn on the TV (CNN) at the bar and there the merry little SUV is still glowing away! And did so while I was there for two hours, and I expect it still is and will for I do not know how long in tv land . I would take the over whatever it is. Somewhere tower one or two or even both at the same time are still colapsing.
My understanding is the fire is out at Glasgow and has been for may hours. I have yet to see a picture that confirms that. My understanding is the towers colpased long ago and new construction has taken place in the area. DOnt see much of that either. It seems the media shows an attack as permanent, and controll and recovery as non existant. How long would they broadcast pictuers of the CNN studio in flames?
