Hey, I *saw* this! They screened it on national news broadcasts in New Zealand.

Yep, you know how they select stories of global importance: "Let's see, we have the Cute Baby or Small Animal story, we have the Old Woman Crying closeups from wherever the currently fashionable war zone is, we have the Obscure Politician Denounces Something story...wait! We need a natural disaster or a building being blown up! Oh, good, some building in the USA got demolished. That'll do."

It was, in fact, the lead story that night.
