I noticed that CNN has been loading slow. I bet its because people have been checking the site so often for new information on the Afghanistan thing, and everything else.

Also, I noticed that places like CNN and MSNBC have pretty bad back up plans when something big happens. Like when the plane crashed in Queens, they were pretty badly hit, and the site kept timing out. It took me about 15 minutes and 10 tries to get on the site. You would think they had some back up plan if something of that nature would to happen.

But I know they are trying the best they can.
