Is it a holiday in the States with it being run on a Monday?
Thatchers funeral should prevent the news here going to OTT on this - it's tragic of course but fairly minor so far in the grand scheme of things, though knowing America they'll be more outrage at this than there is at a school shooting. One added angle here though is it's the London Marathon next weekend so that's one angle for journalists to explore without flying out to Boston.
I'm using the link DVB Cornwall posted, to view CBS coverage. Shame the BBC don't seem to be dipping into anything like this.
Don't forget we're discussing the coverage of tonight's event live on **.

I am appalled you are trying to 'sell' a dying chatroom in this thread, which is discussing a major public disaster. How low, especially when said chatroom isn't even discussing the events of this evening, but instead (after logging in to check), how Critique and Bilky Asko are the same user.
Have the US networks then broken into rolling news or is it just channels in the Boston area? Seems to be local coverage on that CBS link, and even there they seem to be almost willing it to be a more significant story than it already is.
