CNN Story catches up with the Root Cause Analysis Blog
Back on August 4, 2005, we posted pictures that someone e-mailed to us of a truck accident.
Here they are again:
Now CNN has discovered the photos and reports that they are real and have been posted on some of the myth-busting sites.
Interestingly, Snopes.com says that the accident occurred on December 30, 2006. Then how did we get the pictures in 2005? I went back to check the date but my blog software changed this year and I don’t have the original postings anymore. Also, I went to look in my e-mail files and stuff from 2005 has been deleted. Therefore, I guess we’ll never know if the Snopes.com report is right or wrong.
Just one last note … The Root Cause Analysis Blog doesn’t try to be up to the minute with news but in this case we think we beat CNN to the story by two years!
