This is why local TV news is evil.
Watching KABC a moment ago, I heard reporter Miriam Hernandez, on the scene at the small plane crash in the Fairfax district, just call it "9/11 all over again."
Huh?
Perspective, people. This is a news story, yes, and involved a small plane crashing into a building, causing a fire and lots of damage. But it's unclear if anyone was killed-- or even seriously hurt-- on the ground.
You just know that our fine newscasters at 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 will find a way to embarrass themselves with coverage overkill. After watching ABC7's coverage, I was sick of it after 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, here are the facts: A plane crashed into the building at 601 Spaulding Ave., near Melrose Avenue and Fairfax High School, at about 3:50 p.m. No reports of casualties just yet, and it appears that the fire is already out. The building is pretty damaged, however.
