Have you noticed how much bigger NYC news is? |
|
If that plane had smacked the Ohio River below Pittsburgh, it wouldn't have gotten this kind of wall-to-wall coverage.

4. Then they couldn't say "new yorkers are the best!" either. |
|
Since having a plane crash land anywhere else, you know the response wouldn't have been the same.

6. Well it was also a disaster + happy ending story all in one |
|
Which are the two types of stories that news outlets LOVE so of course they'd spend all that time on this story that marries the two.

11. Hence, not a disaster! (I get your point, though.) |

10. Any time you see a plane flying low over New York where it's not supposed to be you think of 9/11 |
|
That's just the way it is.
New Yorkers don't obsess over it but it does lurk in the back of people's minds.

13. Two Romes have fallen. The third, Moscow, stands. There will not be a fourth! |

I meant to direct this to reply number 1 which erroneously calls NYC the capital of the world.
