"CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said."

I saw that too. Quest is CNN's international business reporter. They asked him what his "thoughts" were on those objects (who better to ask), and he waved a paper while literally shouting it's EXACTLY along the route of flight. They then show a lat/long that's 60-100 miles off, a 90 degree right turn after their last radar position. Now, I'm no business reporter, but in my feeble controller opinion I'd say 60-100 miles isn't quite "exactly."

Richard Quest is an idiot. That guy doesn't know dick about flying it would seem. The only piece of his which I think was OK is that he had a short piece where he went flying with this crew only a few days before. I did enjoy watching that if only because it documented them doing what they enjoyed only days earlier than 370.
