The art in that article really is unimpressive. No pics of the cameras, no details of the screen used to ID, no pics of anything at all that is interesting and enhances the article. Just shows that even 8 years ago web journalism sucked

CBS is a television station, so I would assume this is a transcript of a TV segment (how most TV stations post online content)
i'd be shocked if the video segment was any better. however, where's the video segment?
The article is 8 years old.

I feel like multimedia players come and go (unlike the stability of say the <img> element), so it’s entirely probable that the site looked different 8 years ago, and a migration or few later the video content was lost.

They've probably changed corporate owners in that time as well reducing their independence, switched to a new CMS, etc.
