Oh Good Grief

I came in this morning a little bummed that there may not be many more CNN whackadoodle missing plane coverage jokes left. But I think we’re good. Last week we found out that CNN failed in its efforts to rent a 777 to fake crash into the Indian Ocean. But just a few moments ago I saw that CNN is up with new reports from their flight simulator up in Canada doing a simulated search for plane debris over what the host helpfully referred to as “simulated water.” I was convinced by the simulation. It’s pretty hard to find small parts of a plane flying over vast tracks of ocean. (Actually, when I first saw it I thought they were flying off the coast of British Columbia or something pretending to look for plane chunks.) We’ll have the breaking video shortly.

Update: And here’s the video!
