CNN needs to go back to covering car chases. Coverage of single plane tragedy today, embarrassing.

Wolf Blitzer, try as he might, couldn't connect a threat to Guantanamo. Repeatedly making the query with the obligatory !!!

Brooke Baldwin posed this with similar ??? framework - Just what does the rising and falling of the pilot's chest indicate ???

More after the break...

1. why?

It's a tragic story which appears to have directly affected two people, and indirectly their friends and family.

Is there some larger significance to millions of viewers which has escaped me?

"Wealthy couple dies in small plane crash from apparent cabin pressure failure" - is there something else to that one line story of which we all need to be informed?

5. I saw that

Along with the 1/2 hour coverage of Joan Rivers. It was too much, I had to turn it off.

6. I too turn it off ...

I have Music Choice with my cable service ... smooth jazz playing in the background as I tap/click on my PC. Click MSNBC back on when Rachel Maddow's show airs. eom

7. People die in small planes up here all the time.

No one thinks it has anything to do with Putin, who's just over there to the west rearing his head.
