How To Add The News?

How can Yahoo post a news story headline that doesn't add up?

  • Today (1-21-07) Yahoo, on their main screen posted a news story headline that reads: "Pilot dies in-flight" ... But when you click on the actual story it states he died AFTER the plane made an emergency landing. P.S. That is not "inflight". How can Yahoo do this?

  • Answer:

    It really didn't say WHEN he died. He was pronounced (officially) dead when they landed. I think the co-pilot was too busy landing the plane safely to determine TOD for his partner.

The article never says that he died after landing only that he was pronounced dead. Which makes sense since only a Dr can "pronounce" someone dead. From the article: McALLEN, Texas - The pilot of a Continental Airlines flight became ill after takeoff and was later pronounced dead after the plane made an emergency landing Saturday, a company spokeswoman said. Nothing in that statement contradicts the headline.

Wow! How observant. I've seen so many stories like that. I think it's a ploy to get us to read it. Isn't that was illegal?
