"Aeroplane" Video Goes to CBS

The video we shot of the 14-year-old's plane crash was sent to CBS. We feed it to them, they then send it out to other stations across the country.

They also send a script with the video that has all of the information about the story. The script they sent doesn't look like anything I wrote. It has information that I know to be wrong.

One, the CBS story says the boy got airplane training using a computer game. We were directly told the boy didn't have anything like that. We understand that his family is actually quite poor.

The CBS story says he flew for an hour. He flew for exactly 36 minutes.

The CBS story also says, "the talkative juvenile." How do they know he's talkative? No one's spoken to him. They also call it an "aeroplane" An aeroplane? Is CBS being run by the British now?

    WAFFle-House-Jon, you're free to make comments here, but I can't let this be a brag board for the competition.

    That story on the website was written straight from the police report by someone at the station. I was told by the owner it was a 1982 model.
