The scenario would be more realistic in 2024
In 1994, I don't understand why the police couldn't work with the television stations and explain to them the situation. Cut off the live feed, or these people die. Instead of forcing stations to cut off live feed, they sat back and watch a bus jump a 50 ft gap on the freeway. LOL!
In 2024, with so many smartphones, and live apps, I can see how working with television stations wouldn't be enough. And btw, the dialogue for this movie in 1994 was so cheesy and awful, and it's only worse in 2024. LOL!
