The chase was on.

---

Over ten years ago I noted that police cars trying to flag down a white Bronco could be the sort of event I could imagine myself watching - even via the internet if I didn't have access to doing so on television. This was certainly an event that garnered high viewer ratings, though I've often wondered how people knew to tune in to the chase. Were their televisions already on, tuned into a soap opera (or, as actually was the case, to a sporting event) that was then interrupted to offer the breaking news? Probably, though I suppose that those people who were already watching then phoned their friends and said something like "turn on your television - you've got to see this!". I doubt that anyone actually thought to him or herself that perhaps they should turn on their televisions because who knows, maybe something exciting was happening. And since this was back in 1994, close to nobody would have thought that it might show up in their browsers.
