News Van Evolution

While watching the season finale of ER on May 19 during the porch collapse I thought the special effects were amazing and the sound effects came through in Dolby Surround, except I didn't have Dolby speakers and the helicopter spotlight was coming from the window not my TV. Well apparently it was concerning the hospital near my house. Some woman walked into the ER claiming she had received an envelope filled with powder and know she's sick. The hospital closed the ER and OEM, FBI and Haz-Mat agents swarmed. Faster than you can anthrax the news van were circling. NY1, CBS, NBC, ABC, WB, UPN and FOX all showed up and crowded outside the ER delivering equal amounts of hysteria. But as the herd fed I saw this one lonely news van from Noticias 41 it was away from the main action and I managed to take a quick picture. Do you think because they spoke a different language that they couldn't share the primo ER spot? Is their a news van hierarchy?

Later updates proved that the women wasn't infected with anthrax and what she received in the mail was shredded paper. Let that be a lesson to everyone confetti can get too small.
