There's a hostage crisis going on in downtown Pittsburgh right now. (I'm not directly affected, I'm at the other end of the downtown area)
Alleged 22 year old is holed up in an office down near the point, took a man hostage at about 0800 EDT. Police have been on the scene since.
First TV station on the scene was KDKA. Considering that the crisis is going on in Gateway Center Building #3, and the studio is located next door in Gateway Center #1, that's almost a no-brainer.
I go down at 12:30 to eat my lunch. The usual ladies are there, quite irritated that their soap opera has been pre-empted by the news coverage.
And then they start laughing.
Seems that there was a typo in the "bulletin" banner on the bottom of the screen.
It was informing us that we were watching "Breaking Mews" (and that stayed on-screen for over 20 minutes)
