what a mess

I've been watching the news and oh, shells. The story in West virginia... I caught radio broadcasts last night saying the twelve were alive, and switched off and went to bed thinking that they were. Here's me who should have listened a little longer. I woke up this morning and thought it was just surreal to hear otherwise. What a clusterfrak. that's going to be a media nightmare. What a tragedy. Shells. :/

and now the situation with the Israeli prime minister gets broadcast. Dang. They're saying it's questionable whether he'll make it through the night, and whatever the outcome, this is going to throw the situation in Israel/Palestine into *chaos*. Especially with elections on the horizon. I tried tuning in Kol Israel earlier (*gasp* yes I actually listened to an Israeli radio service! probably the first and only time I'll do that) and got nothing--apparently the last English news bulletin they recorded was around four my time this morning, so no in-depth information. No information at all, as the situation hadn't happened yet.

*stays tuned in*
