Short explanation of the story and how it developed: We learned that the HMS Bounty was in trouble shortly before going to air. Phonse Jessome was the first reporter in North America to confirm it had gone down, and the first to report the missing crew members. The chase began at 5am and continued while Information Morning was on the air. |
