I have no idea where your "here" is but here we care about our own.
And that's your damn problem.
The whole fucking worlds!, actually.
So, in essence you say you would stand by as a catastrophe happens in your own hometown, state, country, whatever, and not give a flying f%%k?
Not to mention, because a potential catastrophe doesn't end in total wreckage, death and disasater that no one should care?
BTW, in response to Grouse's initial complaint, every regular channel here is back to their regularly scheduled programming. I would imagine CNN and MSNBC are probably still covering this. I hardly think giving it a few hours of regular time on the airwaves was excessive.
This was a fairly heroic event, it could have gone a terribly different way.
