Is there some reason that jackasses like Anderson Cooper actually believe that shoving himself and a cameraman--at least two people--inside a rescue Blackhawk makes sense, in any universe? That it's more important for him to broadcast the news, than for these crews to have the ability to rescue at least 2 more people, from the disaster that is Houston?
How many trips, over the last 5 days, have these idiots been on? By my count, a CNN crew has been on at least one chopper per day, all day long, filming rescues. How many cycles is that? (Takeoffs/landings to set down rescuees.) How many more people could have been rescued, if these morons hadn't taken up that extremely, extremely valuable space? I know I've seen the chopper crews leave people, at least 1-2x, because they ran out of room. Personally, I'd have left the goddamn news crew and taken the actual victims, but I guess that's just me.
Honestly, the 24-hour news cycle is simply shameful. You want some spectacular footage, fine, go on a rescue or two. This? This is obscene.
