I saw another Channel Ten cock-up as well....

On Ten Late Night News last night (2/12), they showed a small clip of an
ambulance officer speaking into a handheld two-way radio, saying in a very
bland monotone voice, that sounded almost scripted - "Yea, we've got a
train down here that's run into the back of the Indian Pacific, we'll need
ambulances urgently....." or something to that effect. Thing is: wouldn't
half the state's ambulance service have arrived there before any Channel
Ten reporter and cameraman coming up the M4?

It sounded too contrived to be true..... I doubt an ambulanceman would
stand there saying that in front of a camera... *shrug*
