I had seen the news "alert" when they said they found the first "body."

This just shows how -in general- the news media runs with "FIRST get a story, whether it's true or not." If it isn't that, then maybe it's from a dumbing down of media, not knowing enough English words to tell an accurate story (and maybe not believing that semantics are important at all?)

I wonder if the report of the disaster officials knowing for 3 hours without wanting to correct it, is also so true?

Do I hear lawyer's doors?

How sad. How truly sad.
