The term "MASS" casualties sounds a bit SCARY doesn't it? I wonder WHY they would use the term "MASS CASUALTIES"?

 

[slackjawed]

fox is reporting a gas line exploded. Nothing about terrorists yet.

Ummmmmmmm....because a large number of people have been injured or killed perhaps?

Sheeesh...let's turn this into a pissing contest over news coverage....shall we?

 

[Cold Fusion38]

multiple, numerous, many, would be another way to put it that wouldn't carry quite the same level of panic inducing qualities.

Ask CNN:

...The plant's general manager, Gordon Holk, confirmed the blast caused casualties, but wasn't sure how many. Fire and police officials in Middletown said there were "mass casualties," but no other details were immediately available...

The term was used in their original headline, not FOX's. However it's easy enough to see where it came from...

The local police.

Power Plant Explosion in Middletown; reports of numerous casualties - The Middletown Press : Serving Middletown, CT

Look at some of the messages left by locals.
It looks like people felt it 20 miles away.

When I first found this article, it did say mass casualties, since then it has been changed, actually very soon after the first reports, to numerous casualties.

yeah cold and dante probably thought that in the minutes following the first plane hitting, anyone who suggested it may have been intentional was a "moonbat".

 

[Zona]

Im sure its cold and no doubt some peoples power is now off.

uh oh.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

I stand corrected.

This is being reported by both CNN and Fox websites. MSNBC likely too.

While I donl3 doubt the factual nature of the story, I have to wonder what the spin is. Considering what and how the FOX News hounds @ USMB have been hysterically screaming about lately....a fact check on the details is in order. Mass casualties, Explosion? how loosely are these terms being used?

Not saying it's not true, just saying reader beware.

Fox News is not the only one reporting the mass casualty line you dumb ass.

And one question that needs answering right quick is was it an accident or deliberate?

That's what I am concerned about, accident or diliberate.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

SPECULATING on whether it was deliberate or an accident at this point is reckless at BEST!

 

[dilloduck]

SPECULATING on whether it was deliberate or an accident at this point is reckless at BEST!

So are political polls but that never stops anyone.

 

[Cold Fusion38]

Yeah I think this is a LITTLE BIT different than a political poll don't you?

 

[slackjawed]

I think speculating is a little reckless at this point as well.
Although from the latest news it sounds like a gas line explosion, and not a deliberate attack.

Dear stool man, read what I posted. Two versions ofthe same story. One tries to stick with as factual a story for the moment and the other....the other goes into hysterical hyperdrive.

You fucking idiots are being pulled by your dicks and your tits andyou are too elated and hysterical to notice the manipulation.

Whatever the final outcome...FOX went with the most hysterical spin...unverified as it is.

No named authoritative source: saying 'fire and police officials' is the same as saying 'whiite house sources'
