Every network and station is in a rush to scoop everyone else.

OK now its coming in that the CEO first reported to the media that "one was found dead then they located 12 alive"

so the media reported that.

Now the CEO says "whoops, I messed up..."

Regardless of who is to balme for fucked up reporting.... its a fucked up situation all around.

This guy asking questions is inferring that the rescue team was using cell phones to talk to the command center.
