Skiiers stuck on lift- Shitty Reporting

[redwings0921]

Pretty interesting story but I wanted to post this so you can see how much of a dumbass the reporter in the offices is. He asks the same questions over and over and asks questions that the guy already answered, then seems shocked.

Efforts under way to free trapped, injured skiers at Maine resort - CNN.com

Watched coverage on TV. Guy stuck on chairlift said he took photos and video - unsure if with cell phone or camera, but he said he'd send them to cnn after he got rescued and back to the lodge where/if it had wifi...

But since he was already on a cell phone, then they shoulda had him snap some photos (and/or brief video) and email them to cnn directly so they can get them on the air. Possibly even livestream if he has a smart phone - although unsure if a minimum upload spead is required for that, which he may not have had.

As it was, all cnn really had to broadcast was some old youtube video showing someone skiing down the trail at that resort.

I practically grew up on that mountain. That lift can be a windy ride on a good day. We used to get baked and tease each other about that possibly happening - whoa.

Yea, thats nothing. I was at Blue Mountain in the Poconos last Sunday, and the lifts are like triple that height and over rocks. That is nothin
