Sky News Apologizes After Going Through MH17 Luggage On Air

Sky News has apologized after a reporter began digging through the luggage of a passenger killed aboard Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 on air.



The reporter, Colin Brazier, began picking through a victim's suitcase and holding up items one by one while reporting on the devastating crash, which killed 298 people. Brazier realized his own wrongdoing and stopped himself on live TV, stating, "we shouldn't really be doing this, I suppose."



WATCH:











A spokesperson from Sky News issued the following apology:

"Today whilst presenting from the site of the MH17 air crash Colin Brazier reflected on the human tragedy of the event and showed audiences the content of one of the victims' bags. Colin immediately recognised that this was inappropriate and said so on air. Both Colin and Sky News apologise profusely for any offence caused."

But that didn't stop shocked viewers from expressing outrage, many of whom slammed the segment for being "disgraceful" and "inappropriate."

Dear @SkyNews in what way do you feel it is acceptable for your reporters to rifle through the luggage of the dead

Wall Street Journal's Facebook Page Hacked

The Wall Street Journal's Facebook page was hacked by an unknown source Sunday morning.



The hacker made false claims that a U.S. Air Force One crash had occurred. The post came on the heels of the Malaysian Airlines plane that was shot down on Thursday, killing all 298 people on board.



A second hacked post said that Vice President Joe Biden was set to address the nation regarding the crash.

Looks like The Wall Street Journal's Facebook page got hacked. http://ift.tt/1oYHKjS

The Wall Street Journal eventually deleted the posts and informed its readers that it had been "compromised."

Post by The Wall Street Journal.

The hacking was reminiscent of a similar incident in April 2013, when the Associated Press' Twitter account was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army. The tweet claimed that President Obama was injured after two explosions hit the White House. This past December, the Washington Post was also hacked, compromising employee usernames, passwords and other personal information.

Khloe Kardashian And Scott Disick Take A Bath Together

Here we have a photo of Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick taking a bath together. He's wearing a life vest, she's wearing a lifeguard bathing suit. It's all a hilarious joke about bubble baths not being as big as the ocean, get it? Oh, no, you don't get it? Us either, really. There are a lot of inexplicable things about this photo, like why is there a microphone? And where is Kourtney? Or, as US Weekly asked, "Splish, splash, they were taking a bath?" That is a good bath, though. The bubble density looks particularly fluffy, so you do have to commend them or the hired help that probably drew the bath for that.
