This morning, aaj tak showed a footage of a bad aircraft landing (says that it's Indian aircraft landing at Varanasi airport). later I came to know that it was taken directly from youtube and was way older than what they mentioned.

So, they've resorted to showing YouTube clips.
What's next? Give a Handycam to a kid and ask him to shoot smthin for the news?

Noone to stop them u c...thats what happen if a news channel win awards continuosly..Dammit..only Mtv can save us now...:)

That said,a week back i received a video of a condor hunting a deer(mountain goat) in my mail,the caption of that video was 'Ubelieveable' and these kamchor ppl took the same video and aired with the same caption.!!Can you believe that they dint care to change a bit or give it a thought before airing it..:|
When they don get news,they make some from mails and youtube.
Way to go...!!!!

I saw that piece of $hit (news) while channel surfing and the artwork on the tail or the fuselage never looked like an Indian plane. Since the picture was grainy I was never sure.

Looks like everyone in Aajtak is good at faking:D.

So you're trying to say that the news that they currently show is NOT recorded by a kid with a Handycam? Are you sure about this? Source please!:D
