The credo we always worked under was not "get it first", but "get it right, first".
In this case, it was the recovery team relaying information back that was heard by a family member who then started cell phoning everybody.
I hate it when mainstream media reacts like this, but I'm not surprised, given the confusing situation.
If you want to hand out some blame, give it to the mining comapny. Within 20 minutes of the news spreading, they knew the story was different, but they sat on it for three hours.
