One of the channel's satellite trucks happened to be half a mile away when word of the crash came over the police scanner. The crew raced...
...case called Wards Cove Packing Co. v. Atonio, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it was up to complaining workers to prove a lack of "business necessity" for such practices.
