Saying nothing and repeating the nothing multiple times doesn’t really convey any information, Mr. Tutten.
Was the dead guy the tug driver? The jetway driver? Someone from the ground crew that was standing between the tug and the jetway? Which movable object ran into which movable object? Was the collision with the wheels, a fixed support, or the structure itself that was lower than usual (those tugs are usually fairly low slung).
I share your frustration. I've been reading newspapers since the early '60s. Back then, who, what, where, how, why, and when, were commonly found in news stories. Not so anymore, especially on the internet such as in Yahoo News and TV station stories where just bare bones information is given with absolutely no followup questions from the reporter leaving the reader exasperated by the lack of information.
