A tornado killed at least 10 people, injured more than 80 and left hundreds homeless last week when it struck along the US-Mexico border overnight. Seven people were killed when 160mph winds ripped through Eagle Pass, Texas, and three people died in Piedras Negras, Mexico. Patricio Espinoza was there for ABC News. Here's a clip of what we captured... and aired in "Good Morning America."
Live from the San Antonio Riverwalk. Tonight local journalists made a bit of history from San Antonio, Texas as we broadcasted, for the first time, live via Internet one of San Antonio's fiesta events the "River Parade"
But this was no ordinary broadcast... A privilege only allowed in the past to multi-million dollar broadcasters and hundreds of thousands worth of equipment plus an FCC license... NOW comes to you through a Laptop, two cameras and the relentless efforts of three local San Antonio journalists exercising what is fast becoming "web civic journalism"
The Live Broadcast was put together by Ed Lozano, iGoSa.com and Patricio Espinoza, espiMedia.com with Darren Abate on camera. All the equipment was battery operated with a wireless Internet connection, an Apple Laptop, two DV cameras, a mic, a bunch of cables a tons of human positive enery!
Check it out!!
Not intended to be a "high quality production" It sure looked very nice for a test of what Internet technology can do now days. It will only take more broadband and the broadcast quality would double. Please let us know what you think...
