565: Spy in a Bag
CNN 3D Studio, Super Typhoon Scenarios and Media Fearmongering
CNN's Erin Burnett and Tom Foreman use a 3D virtual studio to simulate what would happen if a storm like Typhoon Haiyan hit Florida. The segment predicts 11 million displaced Americans and total economic wreckage. The hosts criticize this as "needless bullcrap" and compare it to hypothetical disaster reporting during the Chernobyl crisis.
