When the television stations decide to go wall-to-wall coverage, I suppose it is inevitable that the drivel content will be increased substantially.

One interview however with a witness on the ground seemed to sound more credible than usual, as he described his own driving direction (east) and stated that the aircraft which he saw was travelling in the opposite direction from normal landings and approaches to 23.

The other tidbit which keeps recurring on at least some broadcasts is to the effect that "the crew reported mechanical problems before the crash". If so, could this have been done on a company frequency and ATC totally unaware of it?
