That would be scary to see something like that actually happen. I would feel so helpless. That feeling, of being helpless terrifies me almost more than anything. I can hardly imagine the thoughts of those people while they were diving. Their loss is regretful.
In regards to them handing your lines to someone else...I did an interview once with CBS or maybe it was NBC (it was more than 10 years ago now). I was an employee at a gun store and they were asking me odd questions I thought at the time. Like "What does a female customer ask for when they come in looking for a gun?" Then they took my words and edited the crap out of them. Ended up I looked like a female customer that was scared of getting attacked (yeah, right in our tiny town, Duh) and had to find a small handgun for protection. It sounded stupid. I haven't done anything since. I know they'll have me saying on TV what they want me to say no matter what I WANT to say. Their ability to edit and their motivation to say a specific message outweighs any integrity in the story. I almost never watch the news anymore as well. It's mostly useless I think. Everyones got an agenda. Sad isn't it?
