CNN has been running non-stop coverage on Katrina’s rampage through the gulf region.<\/p>\n
Several satellite uplinks had to be pulled down because the satellite dishes on vans act like giant sails on sea going vessels. As a result the van runs the risk of being physically picked up by the winds and flying into the air.<\/p>\n
CNN is proud that they’ve been able to pull down nearly live footage without the use of Satellite. Repeatedly they have said the following:<\/p>\n
And we’ve been able to deliver this footage here at CNN with an entirely new technology known as FTP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n Okay, all together now…<\/p>\n BWAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHA WOOOHOOOHOO HAHAHAHAHA<\/p>\n Such mighty technology. Next CNN will offer multiple graphics during the coverage with their secret weapon: Gopher<\/a>.<\/p>\n Edit<\/b>: And a live report from Mobile, AL just included the line: “And as you can see, Water street is under Water.” Either the director or this national commentator is not going to last at CNN very long.<\/p>\n
\nThe footage kept being interrupted with an emergency tone. The national CNN commentator said, “Well, it’s a good thing that we had that tone to cover all the explitives.” No really, she was serious and actually thought the emergency 1K tones were obscenity bleeps.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
