The day's announcement received blanket coverage in the Colombian media, with a number of outlets calling it a "historic day for victims".
Tuesday's announcement received blanket coverage in Colombian media, where every new sign of agreement is seen as a welcome step towards a peace deal that has often faced skepticism.
"It's a brick in a wall," said engineer Paola Beltrán of the announcement that has received blanket, and enthusiastic, coverage in local media.
Mr. Lee, who had made two in-flight announcements warning of the blanket collection, said he could not turn up the temperature on the plane, for fear of overheating the other passengers.
Others lined up to give blood, and an announcement was made that blankets would be distributed to those who planned to wait overnight to take home their dead.
The Syrian papers also ignored the killing, though President Bush's announcement of sanctions against Damascus received blanket coverage.
Well into the trip, the crew made an announcement: because of severe turbulence that blanketed the skies ahead, the plane would be forced to turn back to Detroit.
And instead of forcing passengers to remain seated on flights and taking away pillows and blankets, why not have the pilot make an announcement during the flight: "Attention, passengers, please be alert, and if you see something, say something".
In truth, it is the announcements that are made without the blanket media coverage that will hurt the most, like the scrapping of the target of 50% of 18- to 30-year-olds with a degree.
And another announcement from today my further propel Facebook blanketing the web with its socialness.
