Yeah, this is awful. Back when I did news gathering in the early 1980s in Columbia, these frat boys went down to Jacks Fork on a float trip. There was a big storm, they got caught in it on the river, huge flash flood and a couple of them drowned. The news director wanted to send a crew to wait for these guys to get back home to their frat house, camp out in front of it, then ask them how they felt about their frat brothers drowning. I refused to go. They sent a different cameraman, and I got out of the news biz about a week after that. The song "Dirty Laundry" sums it up well. "It's interesting when people die..."
