Hmm. I guess that the National Geographic Channel has a slightly lower journalistic standard than the magazine.
I’m watching a show on the Golden Gate Bridge, a kind of primer for my new home, and they’re talking about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Which they’re illustrating by using — over and over and over — footage of freeway and parking structure collapses from the 1994 Northridge earthquake, hundreds of miles away. I almost expect to see footage from Kobe with the Golden Gate superimposed.
