Metrolink Crash
Of all the news stories this week, this one affected me the most, as I'm sure it did other people. Learning that the Metrolink train had crashed into a freight train this week was devastating. Knowing there were people on that train who i worked with, went to school with, and shared close relationships with made it all too real. My dad has been an L.A. City Firefighter for 25 years, he called me almost the moment it happened to see if me and the people i loved were okay. From that moment on, I was glued to the television all day. From a journalist standpoint, I think the story was covered very well. There were a lot of human interest pieces, hard news stories, and many more. I don't like how the Metrolink organization chose to represent themselves, and divulge information. This whole story has turned into another P.R. fiasco. Now with the stories about the text messaging engineer coming out, it makes things that much more frustrating to have to deal with.
