[QUOTE="briarcreekguy, post: 1485235, member: 16975"] This situation is part of a trend that I have noticed happening more frequently in the last decade or so. Eyes on the ground at a situation, be it a natural or man made disaster, will report on the severity of the situation and then some "expert" sitting in an office a thousand miles away will render his/her verdict, directly contradicting what multiple witnesses reported. Now I'm not saying every expert in a field is an idiot, but it seems like the ones the media contact are, more often than not. As an example: a few years ago there was a local tornado, multiple eye witnesses, with multiple cell phone pictures and video posted on the local news. The talking heads on the national news, were cautioning that the event could not be classified as a tornado until the " Experts" issued their verdict. [/QUOTE]
