Default UAL 747 Buzzes Golden Gate Bridge
Saw this little CNN thingie while doing my cardio on the bike today.

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Was it really a close call or just the media being stupid again or something in between?

The media being stupid, even admitting they were being stupid, but putting it out there anyway just to feed the fear of anything aviation machine.

Seems to me they were just reporting on the fact that the plane is not nearly as close to the bridge as it appears in the video. How is that 'feeding fear'?

CNN = Beyond stupid

Remember this kind of reporting the next time a member of the media asks for a quote.

Yeah this was during Fleet Week. An awesome time to be in San Fran. Tour some battleships and aircraft carriers, watch the blue angels fly under the golden gate bridge, and see some other great acts. I try and go every year!
