Apologies to Ed Lavandera (@edlavaCNN) for blaming him for botched Diana Nyad coverage. It was actually John Zarrella (@CNNzarrella). @CNN

@jashsf @edlavaCNN @CNNzarrella @CNN Don't know, I gave up. Last I saw he was interviewing a woman who may have seen something.

Actually I think I know what went wrong. Zarrella went down there in a van with a satellite uplink and a camera that has to be cabled to the van. They couldn't move. Maybe cell service at the event was horrible so Skype on his cell phone was not a workable live alternative. They need a better wireless link between a handheld camera and the van so they can still do the satellite uplink. Cheapskates. Not Zarrella's fault -- unless they had a wireless camera he forgot to charge.
