It's good to hear that no one was injured.

It's the news. They try to sensationalize everything even before they get all the facts.

They were probably hoping it was a terrorist attack.

the only thing they are really good for is presenting "breaking news" because they have tremendous resources but now apparently they are f*cking that up too
