Breaking News: Plane Crash at Heathrow

Posted in media on Thursday, January 17th, 2008 at at 1:22 pm by TheRanter

And in today’s major news headline, there was a plane crash at Heathrow airport in which eight people were “slightly injured” according to NPR news. How would I get by if the major news outlets didn’t update me on this breaking story about eight people being slightly injured eight time zones away. That’s almost one injury per time zone!

More news on this breaking story. According to the Telegraph, the injury toll has now risen to 13 persons with “minor injuries.”

And in other news, according to The Hunger Project’s best estimates, 24,000 children died today of hunger and malnutrition, which is a significant decline from the 41,000/day in 1977 when The Hunger Project started.
