News Worthy? Travolta's Family Pets Killed at Airport

Sometimes I really have to wonder WHY certain things are considered news worthy. Today, a report from the Bangor Daily News poped up on the scene to report some sad news about John Travolta and his family.

Apparently the actor and his family had two dogs that were accidentally hit and killed on the tarmac by an employee at Bangor International Airport last early last Thursday morning 5/13/2010. The incident was considered important enough that  Bangor's Interim City Manager Bob Farrar sent out notification to the nine city councilors to confirm the accident. The two small dogs were taken for a walk by a non-family member when an airport service pickup truck struck them by accident.

Now... don't get me wrong. I know that pets can be an extended part of a family and that it is a tragedy to them. But is it news worthy?  Not in my humble opinion!
