I was at the office where I was working at the time. Somebody mentioned something about the incident, so I and others dropped in on the PR Director because she had a TV in her office.

The thing about coverage of breaking news is that the commentators don't have a lot of facts in the early stages, but they have to fill airtime so they say the same things over and over. Five minutes in front of the telly told me everything that was known at the time. Then, having nothing better to gain by watching the repetitive coverage, I went back to work, assuming that more details would be available by the time the next morning's newspaper came out. (No, I'm not an especially emotional person. There's a reason why most of the kids who knew me in high school called me "Spock".)
