A matter of perspective

Reporting on the plane crash in upstate New York this morning:

German reporter on N24: These are all one-family houses with large plots of land around them, so the plane crashed into only one house.

American reporter from CNN: This is a small community with houses very close together, so it's very lucky that only one house was hit.

Ok, ptting aside the tragic aspect of this event for a second, that's really funny.

hmm. I often find it interesting to read two different views of the same story. Interesting cultural insights (even if this example is a tragic one..)

How interesting! Perspective is something.
