It's All About Us

A small plane goes down in the everglades and one Miami station makes sure the story is all about them.

WPLG took the plane crash and made the story all about their news chopper and those on board. 

The station writes on their website:

"A Local 10 employee came to the rescue of a pilot in need after the small plane he was flying crashed Monday in western Broward County.

Sky 10 was flying to another scene when pilot Clem Carfaro spotted the downed plane in the Everglades near U.S. Highway 27.

The injured pilot was trapped inside the cockpit.

Sky 10 arrived before Broward Sheriff's Office Department of Fire Rescue paramedics got there.

Local 10 News engineer Juan Rodriguez just happened to be on Sky 10 at the time, so the helicopter landed briefly so that Rodriguez could help the pilot."

Of the first 5 paragraphs of the story, 4 of them start with Local 10 or Sky 10.

It wasn't much better on air.
