I dont think you can fault only CNN here, not that I'm a huge fan. I'm sure all the news stations got a few facts jumbled. At first, there were 7 dead and 20 missing. Just yesterday we were hearing that there were 4 dead and 30 missing. Today it's 6 dead and 7-8 missing.

I never take anything as fact in a breaking news story until much later. Especially anything mainstream media or the gov tells us. They all seem to spin stories one way or another.

I saw the rubberneckers in a few photos. Thousands on a parallel bridge. You'd think the police would have cleared them out and sealed off the bridge from pedestrians.

I always use SMS texting during times when cell phone bandwidth is overloaded. Seems to get through OK.
