On the 24 hour bbc news station in between the segments they show reports in thoughtful poses reporting from all around the globe. While a clock runs down the seconds? How are these seconds being measured? it seems to be in 30 milliseconds segments? that is a second divided into 30 segments. the clock says 20.29 before going to 21.00 secs. Shouldn't it be in 100 segments. Seems a weird way of describing time. I know sprinters in 100m do it in hundredths.
Does the BBC own Time now?

Oh - why do their reporters use crappy video cameras. I have one that cost me £50 and it is better than the ones used by the overseas reporters? All shaky and corrupt. Film your report and email it in? how hard can it be.

The BBC like to waste money on fruitless journeys.

When that wood mill explosion happened last week they were following a Twitter users updates, who lived about a mile away.

'It felt like an earthquake ' etc

30 minutes later, exactly the same report from the same Twitter user.

Common sense would tell most that there would be an exclusion zone around the now collapsed 4 storey building.

But she told viewers that their BBC reporter was on the way and we would get an update soon.

I never looked back in, but I would assume he/she got there, stood at least 440 yards away, the nearest he/she could get, and showed us excellent footage of the black cloud of smoke that we saw hours earlier.

There were 4 people missing by nightfall.

They found a body either last night or this morning,  but the BBC news pages, in the very same report this morning, are still listing 4 missing, and name them, 3 men and a woman. 

So it's only 3 missing now, not 4.
