Note(s):

 
The American public has heard nothing about the "black box(es") aboard that aircraft, flight 93. The main stream news coverage was the largest to date, lasting at least a week, 24 hours a day.

 

There were a couple days of moderate coverage by the main stream news. Americans did not shout, "We are all Iranians today!"
 
 
 

 

Mainstream network news coverage of this was intense, causing the Director of the FCC to appear before Charles Gibson on ABC's Good Morning America. Charles Gibson asked probing questions like, "Well, isn't this what we see every day?" Since the coverage was intense and lasted for days, it appeared bigger than the coverage of the nightmare Christmas earthquake in Iran.

On a related note, singer Kurdt Cobain can now be considered a liar. After repeatedly singing "and I swear that I don't have a gun", he shot himself in the head. This may be under review!
