Not the most sensible comment for broadcast news.
Classic Steve Edwards comment.

He was right - it did look like a clown car. It's even worse when you're on one.

Initially, the reporter in the helicopter (Dickert) said they'd been told there were four people on the plane but the captions have said 43 for a while now. Toward the end of the clip, Edwards remarks that the "700" or so passengers should be thankful for the great outcome. I think he's pushing 90, so I cut him some slack.
