rkolsen 1684 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 ...and Scott Pelley understandably looked like he had been a mess shortly before having to go to air with that. My condolences are with his family and CBS News. As for Scott Pelley I can't imagine having to go on the air to break this tragic news when you yourself just learned two hours ago. It's something no one should have to do and Scott handled it with class.
