I was wondering why the news reporters could fly in next day, but the Marines and such are taking a boat and will be there in 2 days. - JaxSean Jan 14, 07:57 8
- THe aid teams have to bring a hell of a lot more supplies. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 08:13
- Sounds like the Marines need to be on the media's flight. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 08:00 2
  - "Get that damn camera equipment off this plane, I need more room for my kit" - Marine Jan 14, 08:13 1
    - they bring absolutely everything they need so they're self sufficient. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 08:17
- one of the morning news shows mentioned this as well. The logistics of getting much larger craft into the area is much more difficult - Diva Jan 14, 07:59 1
  - Ah -- nm - JaxSean Jan 14, 08:20
- The reporters probably pack lighter. Marines ... probably have a lot of equipment. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 07:59

That must be hard work and I figure that they need little breaks like that actually. Also, it helps people see the situation and they might donate -- nm - zork Jan 14, 07:56 1
- having worked with them, I know they actually plan for media stuff. Really I hate how CNN does these stories. - loosilu Jan 14, 08:15
Agreed. Less interruptions, more panning past public sex -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 07:56
