Rice University Collapse and the Local  News

Did anyone notice yesterday while reporting on the wall collapse on the Rice University campus how calloused it all came off? The collapse happened on a construction site for a dorm during the bad weather killing one person and injuring 7 others. What rubbed us funny was the way they sad it. "No students were hurt, but one person was killed and 7 others were injured."

Like the life of a student is some how more important than that of a construction worker. Or the story would have been more tragic if a student had been hurt or killed. What has our world come to that our local news has become so sensationalized that they would actually say that! DISH realizes that was not the implication, but the fact that it came out of their mouths at all is just sick.
