So its a transformer but how come the media is just not bothering with story

[brettdale]

A building has collasped due to a transformer explosion in New York, I thought this would be a major story, but as soon as the media found out it wasnt a terror attack, they seem to have dropped the story.

Seems kinda strange to me.

1. I haven't seen any verifiable source saying a building has collapsed

Have you?

2. Please I hope not. I just left there and I have friends who work right there

42-43rd & Lex, right near GC and in the Chrysler Building

C_U_L8R says the Chrysler Building is still there

9. Police say no building collapse

(latest AP bulletin)

3. Yeah, I'm not getting this at all ...

CNN - usually the first to break into regular programming with the most TRIVIAL of news stories - don't even have a mention on the crawl.

WTF?

7. Dick figured out that he couldn't connect Iran, so it's dead in the water.

That's my best guess.
Probably not too far off from the truth either.

4. Fox will find a way to blame the bad transformer on terrorists....

and the Democratic attempts to end the war.

5. I've been surfing and can't find a thing

Way odd.

Edit to add...MSNBC broke into the afternoon news to report on a jet ski accident somewhere...and nothing on this? Stinks.

6. Was Paris Hilton there?

....no, well then no story.

8. I would assume because most likely there are no injured or dead.

If there were some dead people it would probably be on the news but as it stands it's just a dead transformer not exactly something people care about.

11. It's the second story on cnn.com.

That isn't big enough?
