You will notice he says 'good afternoon' - her death was announced on sydney news minutes later, just after midday. The crash happened close to 8.30am on the sunday - sydney time - after midnight paris time - so I dont know how people in brisbane heard about it at 9am...? she wasnt yet in the hospital at that stage! it was a strange way to spend a sunday though - watching this story unfold over lunch while the brits were still all asleep. very sad and surreal.
very sad how one tragedy led to another :( i mean july 30 1997, the thredbo landslide where 18 people were killed, and a month later on august 31 princess diana died :(, i remember when they had these newsflashes on tv, theyd put a subtitle on the bottom of the screen with updates of the incidents etc, and when it was urgent, the newsflashes came on, it was very sad and tragic that all this happened :( and i hope incidents like this dont happen anymore
@bhayes06 yeah channel 9 and 7 use to make their own versions of thes id's, u know woti mean?,america would have theirs, and australia would have their own version

I noticed that they used the old CBS Evening News theme.

Unfortunately I don't. And I'm not sure why! I can tell you it was shortly after this though. I first heard of the crash around 9am Brisbane time.
