Her story of survival is just as interesting as the one from the Washington Post reporter who was on an island in Sri Lanka. In many ways more harrowing.
Exactly. Maybe none of us can identify with being a supermodel (I know I can't!) but an American clinging to a palm tree in the water for 8 hours with a broken pelvis after watching her boyfriend swept away... I'm sorry. That's newsworthy. Not as newsworthy as all the horrible deaths. But newsworthy.
