Yes, sorry about that, I should know not to believe anything on TV.
Channel 10 at 5pm said it was in the USA, Channel 9 at 6pm didn't say where, however they then said that at the same time only 2 hours away the Virgin Blue business was happening (BNE), so obviously it was in Melbourne.
Still VERY sad to see, especially for me, after seeing it roll off the line in Seattle 20 odd years ago.
