This is an interesting article discussing the recent account of a passenger involved in the plane crash in Denver on Sunday.  The passenger, Mike Wilson, a member of the popular micro blog site, Twitter, decided to not only "Tweet" his expereince as it happened, ("Holy f**king s**t - I was just in a plane crash!”, and give regular updates from his cell phone, but all take pictures of the site, and upload them online, as he ran away from the wreckage!  I'm fascinated by articles like these that tell how prevelent not only technology, but the social network, and constant need to know what everyone's up to and information as it happens, are, but c'mon, isn't there some mixup of priorities??
