Back in the 80s, a private pilot made the news by landing his plane on 280 (there was less traffic then, and it wasn't rush hour). His plane's engine had thrown a rod and he couldn't make it back to Palo Alto Airport. No one was hurt.

Coincidentally, I met him later and he talked about his experience with the journalists. He was wise to their laziness, and he made them all read their notes back so he could be sure they got it right.

I think in principle the reporters know they should be careful what they write, but in practice... deadlines, you know.
