A very important story. Would be a perfect fit for any local news station in or around NYC, or perhaps an environmental show. The producers writing and production are top notch. However, in my opinion there just seems to be too much info coming at the listener too quickly. Granted, it is a very edgy newsy time piece, but at almost 7 minutes I think it is just too much for the average listener to follow especially with the clips come so fast. As I said, a very important story, it seems like there must be a way to get the main points across while in less time.
