But it's worth noting that the first word of trouble didn't come across the Associated Press wire until 9:16, the scheduled landing time. Free Republic scooped the AP by at least 11 minutes--which is an eternity in the competitive world of wire-service reporting.

We scooped a wire service!!!

I NEVER, NEVER want to be without this place, and without these people. You people. Shortly after 8 I heard they had lost communication with Columbia and hurried to post. By the time my post made it, it was 3rd or 4th, all of this occurring within moments.
