Yesterday, NST's frontpage placed two circles on the picture of the crash site - indicating that there are two survivors. But no. There is only one, as other newspapers circled the same picture - only with one circle. What I am afraid is that NST raised false hopes, and it seems so. (Anyone have yesterday's copy? I would like a scan of the frontpage)
Today, Utusan Malaysia's graphic on Page 12 placed the helicopter 500 meters above the ground, in the rainforest canopy. It doesn't take long to realise that banana trees doesn't grow in the canopy, only on the ground.

Utusan Malaysia erred on this graphic.
I hope that NST and Utusan will make a proper announcement regarding the mistake.

What's the error? I didn't see any banana trees.
If you've seen the pictures of the rescue, you'll see the banana trees. The Star, I believe, have some.
kesian the victim and the victim's family kan? The skyways must stop flying... or let the manager fly the heli himself...
