Anyone see this, happened literally two minutes ago. Woman with her children who was being questioned by CNN reporter, says "we've been calling for help for 36 hours. Haven't had food for 5 days..."
Then when asked another question, she then angrily says (paraphrasing) "we're hungry and wet and I get here and you guys have a mic in my fu____king face, you have a mic in my fu___cking face". It did seem rather Jeckyl and Hyde in fairness to the reporter, tough to gauge if someone is very relieved to be saved (you would think this), or dealing with the stress and uncertainty of their life. Regardless, they made a quick cut to commercial.
Some trauma I suppose, but also all those hours with your kid worrying about life or death and the media are on you as soon as you arrive at the shelter. Just one of those "you know this is live TV" moments. Can't imagine how she has felt all those hours, how unsure of she is about her future. I think the woman who did the questioning is probably going to be a little more cautious about who she approaches.
