Morons at channel 7 news
Channel 7 thinks the Wolverine Amtrak train, which travels from Pontiac to Chicago, derailed in "New Buffalo, New York."
Un-fucking-believable. This idiotic error not only appeared in Alicia's script, it also appeared within the chyron.
New Buffalo is located on the Michigan side of the MI / IN border, of course.

Re: Morons at channel 7 news
I guess they never rode that train - it's one of the stops. Alicia didn't catch it?
One of my hamster friends lives in New Buffalo, another reason to get your license - you learn geography.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

I heard what sounded like a little bit of hesitation in her voice, but she did not have the presence of mind to correct the error on the fly.
Here is channel 4's vastly superior report:

To their credit they did fix it for later reports… maybe she said something after all. The information in the report on their website is actually more specific than what 4 has.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 6:19 amChannel 7 thinks the Wolverine Amtrak train, which travels from Pontiac to Chicago, derailed in "New Buffalo, New York."

Was it Bill Bonds who went "off the handle" on a rant when he started to read some crap script that he was handed?
Re: Morons at channel 7 news
Most people have no clue about railroads.
The WNDU reporter doing their live shot called the lead locomotive the first car.
Trains can run at 110mph out there. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt.

Re: Morons at channel 7 news
Near the end of their morning newscast on channel 7, a quick recap of headlines is given (complete with a music bed). During that segment, which aired near 6:56a, the location was stated correctly.Rate This wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 8:51 amTo their credit they did fix it for later reports… maybe she said something after all.

Re: Morons at channel 7 news
Trains are my other hobby. The only real question I have is was it on a crossing or somewhere in the gauge down the tracks?
Re: Morons at channel 7 news
Does Amtrak run at 110mph?? What speed does the Acela line run at?

A police officer was there and recorded the entire impact on dash cam. The tow truck was across the roadway between the gates.
