Day of Death?
What will people say about you when you die?? Some high profile individuals found out when the folks over at CNN accidentally posted a series of advance obituaries on their public servers. The snafu happened at the CNN website on Wednesday, April 16.??
All news organizations prepare obits of high profile individuals just in case they pass on.? CNN mistakenly posted several on a server searched by Google.? For about 20 minutes yesterday, the world seemed to be facing a horrid day of mourning as such leaders as Ronald Reagan, Nelson Mandela and Dick Cheney had all passed on.? Other notable pre-obits included Fidel Castro and Bob Hope.
While CNN has obviously pulled these, you can still view a few of them at the Smoking Gun web site.
