Right now I am 35,000 feet above the U.S. heading toward Los Angeles, final destination Kauai. But as we head west, a major tsunami is also crossing the Pacific headed for Hawaii.
Modern connectedness on Delta is allowing us to watch CNN live and check online for flight updates. This scenario is a stark reminder of how fast news spreads and how many ways we have to get news. Within a foot of me, I have my Wall Street Journal, AJC, USA Today … the pillars of yesterday’s news. Also at hand, my Blackberry, laptop with online access and TV screens showing CNN Live.
More as I learn if the tsunami beats us to Hawaii.
I have a feeling we’ll be in LA for a few days.
