Current CNN.com frontpage stories:

* Yellowstone tourist dies in 500-foot fall
* Elevator crushes child visiting his grandmother
* Mid-air crash kills pilot before air show
* Couple finds cat playing with 7-foot-long snake
* 92-year-old jumps out of plane
* World's most expensive lemon?

And this is above the fold, i.e., these are the _top stories_ of the
day. When people make fun of Wikinews' story selection, I often wonder
if they reflect on the stories that are selected by the media they
actually use. I hope we will be able to do a lot better than this in
the long run.
