COMMENTS: Making Waves
All three newscasts covered killer waves. NBC was the only network to persist with its earthquake coverage from Chile as Mark Potter arrived at the fishing village of Curanipe, close to the epicenter, where 40 campers were killed by the tsunami. ABC and CBS had London-based correspondents (Nick Watt and Mark Phillips) narrate homevideo from tourists aboard the Louis Majesty cruise liner off Barcelona. The ship steamed through a Mediterranean storm when a freak wave formed, 30 feet high. It crashed through the dining deck and killed two passengers.
