As somebody who works in the aviation industry and is a trained crash 
investigator (although fortunately I've never actually needed to conduct an 
investigation for real), it was all I could do to keep from screaming and 
throwing things at my TV set when I saw the inane reporting on the day of the 
crash.   I kept flipping between CNN, Fox, and the local stations in the hopes of 
finding somebody with an IQ above room temperature to speak about the 
situation.   One station did have a genuine expert for a few minutes, but the 
airhead bimbo gave him such stupid questions that it was difficult for his 
knowledge to break through the BS.

Some Ting Wong indeed!
