When you have people on the ground who are willing to work hard at getting the story, you don’t have to wait days or weeks for the official press release, or for that call back that never comes.
The following is from Midwest Media By Melanie.
When I was as on scene in Wood River, Nebraska on Saturday, a big track hoe moved onto the scene. It rolled in and removed two trees out of its way. A fire fighter walked across the street directly toward me and strongly suggested I leave due to the next steps to be preformed. I’m very respectful of fire fighters.
When he told me they wanted me for a press conference I was not stupid but I honored their request. I left, knowing full well they were likely removing a body from the house that exploded earlier in the day.
I show respect. It’s what I do.
And I interviewed the emergency manager for Hall County and Grand Island and left my phone number.
They have not returned the show of respect by contacting me, but that is okay.
Regardless, now I am learning that evidence is showing the natural gas line was tampered with, and a body was indeed removed from the ruble at the home explosion.
I have been in contact with family members of the home owner and my deepest sympathies are with them. I hope everyone is being kind to them. What a tragedy for everyone.
