I agree that the news media focus on the sensational. Watching one of the "talking heads" interview some guy who wrote a book, it was obvious the underlying tone of their conversation was "nuclear bad", lets go hug a tree. But to put it in perspective, this disaster will probably do less damage than what we did on purpose to them at the end of WWII. I'm not knocking us for dropping the bombs, just saying they WILL recover.
The thing about the new media is that they are the perfect "Monday Morning Quarterback" with perfect hindsight the day after something happens. The abhor ALL risk that we take for any good.

Later, someone showed the full scene where he was standing in a dry parking lot and the live shot was only from the waist up. LOL. Yup, I quit taking the media seriously long time ago. It's all about ratings and truth be dam-ed.
And nice to see some short technical discussion from B & D. Interesting stuff.
