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.

Ann Curry & Brian Williams were reporting from the airport this morning, and the Marines will be there tomorrow.

Sounds like the Marines need to be on the media's flight. -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 08:00 2
