A Scoop for Seaside FM

Last Saturday night, 12:36 a.m., Air Canada AC624 airbus from Toronto made a "hard landing" at Halifax Stanfield International Airport.
Heavy snowstorm is in progress, with winds gusting up to 100 km an hour.
Here is the timeline, as I saw it from our house:
A minute later, my wife is awakened by a chorus of sirens from the local police / fire / ambulance station here in Bedford.

1:30 a.m.: Seaside FM has broken into regular program, and is presenting live tweets, read by Wayne Harnett from his Twitter screen. He states from many sources that there has been a "hard landing" at HSIA, and ALL 138 passengers and crew have been safely evacuated.
Some tweets are already being posted by passengers, beside the wreckage. His reports continue until 2 a.m., with 'drop-ins' later.
So far, Seaside FM is the only station reporting the story!
Excellent work!
2 a.m.: No reports on CBC radio, or CBC news and CTV news channels. They are showing recorded material; local News 957 is running sports talk from CBS.
Tweets appear from CBC news reporters on scene.
3 a.m.: Short, two-paragraph report, with photo, appears on CBC news website. No TV reports yet.
6 a.m.: CBC radio, national and local news, lead story, summary only. No TV reports yet.
7 a.m.: SIX AND A HALF HOURS after accident: lead story on CBC and CTV news channels, Detailed 'live hits' by junior (but highly capable) Halifax reporters, with photos of plane wreckage and blanket-clad passengers filing into terminal.
Throughout Sunday, good or excellent coverage from terminal and crash site, including interviews with Air Canada officials and passengers.
A number of points should be raised here:
— AC624 circled HSIA for about an hour, before pilot made the decision to land.
— There was no power across the terminal area, as the plane had clipped the power line feed to the airport.
— Evacuation was carried out quietly and efficiently by passengers and flight personnel.
— First responders did an excellent job, fire gear arrived on scene within 90 seconds. They assessed the plane for safety, then began triage; twenty-three people were taken to hospital. None suffered critical injuries.
— Flight was returning from the tropics; many passengers were lightly dressed in shorts, T-shirts and sandals. Some – the ‘most vulnerable’ young and elderly – got shelter in firetrucks, but the rest had to wait about 45-50 minutes in a tarp makeshift shelter on the runway in the snowstorm, until 'Park and Fly' shuttle buses arrive to bring them to shelter and terminal. No coach buses were available.
(HSIA reports that some delay resulted because bus personnel must be cleared by security and receive permits to enter runway area!)
— Some early reports got bogged down as to whether it was a "heard landing" or a "plane crash." (Passengers interviewed made strong claims for the latter, because the plane had lost its landing gear and an engine.)
— Why did it take SIX AND A HALF HOURS for CBC News and CTV News to post reports on TV? Some reporters were on scene and sending tweets with concise info. and photos within two hours.
— You can be sure that if this accident had happened in Toronto, the news people would've been on site and ON AIR within a few minutes!
— Transportation Safety Board and HSIA have both launched thorough investigations.
— Our local News outlets must also set up their own reviews — especially of their non-coverage of breaking news.
Except for the 'Easy Listening' station from Eastern Passage.
Bravo to Seaside FM!
