Thanks Lou.  I just got a sound byte here naturally as our press
(especially electronic) has forgotten how to do any real reporting.  Yes
I know the pros tell us the first 6 seconds must hook the audience and
the video must change every 10 seconds   as well but sheesh.  The ink
print is almost as bad with 25 word news bytes as well.

Hi.

That happened a short distance from Rochester on Routes 5 and 20 in the
town of Bloomfield, NY.  There were five teenage girls in a Chevvy Trail
Blazer and they hit a tractor trailer head on.  The driver was text
messaging, had just passed a vehicle and was doing 60 when she hit the
truck.  All five were killed instantly, and the fireball went 50 feet
into the air.  It burned so hot that it brought the electric lines down
and it was well into the next day before the power was back on in
Bloomfield.  There is a bill pending in the New York State legislature
to make it illegal to text message while driving a motor vehicle.  It
should be obvious to anyone with any intelligence that you don't do
that, and perhaps they should be nominated for this year's Darwin award.
But help me out here.  They were already breaking five laws when they
had the accident.  What difference is it going to make if they break a
sixth?
