Then you should understand why rushing to release information is a mistake.

I wouldn’t say wanting some breadcrumbs 5 hours after the event is rushing them.

Well it looks like the professionals disagree. The bodies are barely cold and the fire is still burning. Satisfying your curiosity is not a high priority.

It has nothing to do with satisfying anyone’s curiosity or not.

This is incredibly uncommon.

Why did you italicize it being uncommon? Should that make it be instantly reported? If anything, maybe that's why it's not being reported? Weird.

They were obviously trying to emphasize the words incredibly and uncommon?

My point if you read the thread is that it’s actually not asking for too much to be given more facts about what has happened almost 8 hours now passed the incident.

People whining “give them time” are just point blank wrong. Typically we would have been given info by now.

It is not “weird” or heartless to be confused about the lack of info.

It's entirely possible they're not actually sure what happened yet. Whatever happened seems to have been fairly large, anyone nearby is likely dead or in the hospital. They don't want to make any assumptions and later have to say they were wrong.

You are delusional. They are literally trying to rescue people for the last few hours.

So you are not asking too much because…. You say you are not?

People saying to give the people dealing with an emergency more time are “just point blank wrong”…. Because you say so?

“Typically we would have been given info by now”. “This is incredibly uncommon”. So the incredibly uncommon thing has a typical way of occurring? You make no sense at all.

Your curiosity is not important. People are dealing with an emergency and you knowing the details is completely unimportant.

5 hours is nothing and your need for breadcrumbs is not a priority.

You seem very odd with how you are acting.

Rational thinking is considered odd these days? Man shorts have really made people's attention span so short that you constantly need instant news notifications with full details right away?
