On Monday, March 9th, 2015, two Argentinian Helicopters collided while filming a reality television show “Dropped” for French broadcaster TF1. The crash killed ten people but the story centralized around the deaths of two french olympians. There is no specific details of why this collision occurred
CNN updated their story today at 11:58 am stating that there have been three french sport stars who have lost their lives in this horrific accident when the two helicopters collided in mid air. The Anchors seem to be sympathetic and informative with whatever news coverage they have collected. They state that the story has still been unsolved and will be continuing to cover this happening for the next several days. CNN’s footage they show in this News story is intense and nerve wracking. They show people running towards several clouds of smoke of what we believe are the burning choppers. CNN doesn't show the choppers collision but the audience later sees footage of the helicopters remains.
NBC on the other hand shows full coverage of the helicopters colliding. There was hardly any sound or background noise of the crash which lightens up the video a bit. A news anchor is lightly talking over the footage and retelling the story. NBC gave the audience the full story whereas CNN provided the audience with this scare tactic and leaving us to think for ourselves and imagine what happened. The article mourned the loss of the french athletes as if they were all that mattered.
“French Olympic medalists filming reality show among 10 dead in Argentina helicopter crashes” is the title of Fox’s news report. The clip opens open with the anchor woman stating the devastating news cutting to photos of the olympic medalists who were participating in this reality show. Fox then uses photos of the aftermath of the crash while the anchor woman talks over the slide show. There was no background sounds of music taking place in this report. It was straightforward and to the point but left us hanging graphically.
All three stories seem to be focused on the olympic medalists that were involved in the terrific accident. The other 8 people didn’t seem to matter and it seems as if they weren't creating this reality TV show than this wouldn’t be breaking news.
