only way this kind of thing makes national news is when it is someone famous. People die all the time without more than a mention on the local news. It's not shallow, it's conveying the news in a way that gets people’s attention. Especially since it's 'breaking news'.

Actually I noticed when I was looking on Fox's webpage there was a crash in GA that killed 2. It wasn't the top headline, no, but it was on the front page.


<edit> Here's the link, if it makes you feel better:

It was about halfway down Fox's webpage.

yep. they get reported. But there is no denying that Kobe is a well-known figure in many ways (some good, some bad). In the immediacy of the story, you lead with the biggest part of the story. There will be time later to add to the story as more is known.

Yahoo Sports reporting that only 1 of his daughters was on board. Along with those two, another player and parent. The report says five have died, so I'm assuming the pilot makes the 5th. So sad for all families involved.

Correct, him and his daughter and another player on his daughter's team and her parent and pilot.
