The Speed Of The Sound Of An Explosion.
I heard and saw a picture of the explosion in New York over at Rachel’s blog far before the BBC have anything.
Make of that what you will.

that is probably because the BBC require two independent sources of information before they release a story

Meanwhile, I’m in the midst of a BIG thunderstorm which is causing electrical shortages in the middle of America, so haven’t seen the news…and found out about this from you! I *heart* blogland. ;-)

Andy – Really? That’s interesting to know.
I use the blog world to get news, but I rely on the BBC to give me a pretty impartial report on it.

To be fair, BBC News 24 had live video of the area just a few minutes after it happened.

And to think some people out there still don’t know what a ‘blog’ is!
