Just happened to turn it on to Komo now when I turned on my T.V.

Cannot fathom how hard it would be to have to be on the air right now and have to report a tragedy that involved two friends.

My Condolences to all of those impacted.

660 News has been using KOMO's own coverage for their audio clips. Pretty amazing professionalism on display.

Very fine line here. The News is all about hoping for tragedy. These reporters (KOMO) should not have to be covering this story given what has happened, but they have the inside line on the other networks and will get the national coverage. The News media, especially in 'Merica are scavengers equal to or slightly above TMZ.

Reminds me of this one from a few years ago in Phoenix.
