You are stuck on a chairlift so you call……CNN?

What has changed in our society that getting your name or face on TV so important? 

So a chair lift derails in Maine over the holidays. The resort does a good job of issuing a press release. However, someone sitting on the chair lift calls CNN?

How many people carry CNN’s number on their phone?
A man on the chairlift who called into CNN estimated that 100 people were stranded on the lift around noontime. He said skiers were told by mountain employees that trapped skiers would have to belay down from chairs via rope.
At least CNN or the man calling got the facts wrong!

See 5 chairs fall as ski lift derails at Sugarloaf ski resort in Maine; people reportedly injured.

The person who called CNN was a CNN employee, who was on the chairlift near where it deroped. This explains why CNN had the story first.

Such occurances are rare, but to be expected given the fact that everyone has a cell phone.
