Default tv reporters suck - Harry Smith this morning

all those kids got killed in that fire in NC. They had the guy who jumped into the canal on the Morning Show this morning.....

"Do you think there is a chance you could have alerted others before you jumped?" Harry Smith.

WTF kind of question is that. I know the news is supposed to be bold, etc... but why would he even ask such as asshole question.

"So....you let the others burn while you were cooling off in the canal....."

I agree with Dan. He's the only person to escape, but he should have had enough time left over to help the others. What an asshole question!

Somoen please explain to me how he could have tried saving the others. I'm guessing he jumped, because all other ways were on fire. Anyone that's been close to a large fire knows that these things are loud as hell.

In that person's shoes, I'd have stood up, unhooked my mic and walked out.

What'd he do? How'd he answer that question?

^ he sort of fumbled around for words.... said that he hoped that there was no chance of him saving anyone at that point....

he should have told Harry Smith to go **** himself....
