Who else's might it have been? "It was a carjacking gone terribly wrong" Do they ever go wonderfully right? "Witnesses said the airplane sputtered before crashing" I hate it when jets "sputter" "He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time" Is it possible for someone to be in the wrong place at the right time? What about the right place at the wrong time? Right place at the right time? How does one know which is which? "The child went missing" How does someone "go" missing? Either you're missing, discovered to be missing, or were missing, in which case you've been found. I hate overused media cliches:
