Jane Thornton,
Sound Insulator
"At least they died doing something noble. They could have died covering the weather, or traffic, or a police chase."

Black Man

Martin Green,
Dry Cleaner
"At least both stations got live footage of the biggest story happening at the time of the crash."

Old Man

Wally Thompson,
Boom Mic Operator
"I certainly hope the television reporters on the ground were asked how the grisly deaths of their colleagues made them feel."
