The video that was available for this story was taken down due to ‘copyright violations’. Baloney. WCGL violated the unwritten code, that no news organizations report the failures of another.

Atlanta news is lame.

Seriously, who cares about the stations dumb competition with each other? Who cares that station A was foaming at the mouth to cover a story about station B? It’s like the special Olympics athletes arguing about who is the #1 athlete. These local crews all suck, hence why they are stuck in Atlanta. Therefore I conclude that they are all losers anyways, now stop interrupting my TV shows with your lame local high school caliber production nonsense.

Jim’s comments about how classy the other stations have been about this unfortunate incident are spot on and have also been echoed by other contributors to this blog. He also mentioned that the”competition (the other stations) were just foaming at the mouth covering this story…” I bet they were, just like years ago at the old Eastern Airlines. They too were silently “foaming” or better yet “laughing to themselves” when competitor and arch rival Delta Airlines (then the airline that billed itself as the “Airline Run by Professionals”) landed at the wrong airport twice in the same week. Be it WSB or Delta, one can’t help but smile when they see the big guy ion the block brought down to size every now and then. Fortunately though for the guys in the WSB van and those on the two Delta aircraft, no one was physically hurt to any degree. Film at Eleven.

Am I the only one that finds this accident comical? I mean, come on, if they did this in Dumb & Dumber you’d be laughing your butts off.

what the heck are you guys writing about here. a camera crew luckily escaped possible tragedy, and all you can talk about is racism. folks, its not the place here at the ajc.com. i used to work for CNN, and years ago a tv engineer died from the same incident. he left his daughter as his only family. really tragic. so, can you take you BS somewhere else. both sides are ignorant and need educating. get a life losers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s racist comments like these that are ruining the south. A black man already stands no chance in the world, I face racism everyday and everywhere I go. Besides, everyone knows it’s the asians that can’t drive so take your racism and shove it.

Ellen, don’t be racist. It doesn’t matter who was driving.

So if both the men are OK, why do they not know who was driving?
