The Butterfly Effect which I read last night on IMSDb.com:
INT. ANDREA'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT
Andrea does the dishes as the TV plays a NEWSCAST in the
b.g.
ANCHOR
(on TV)
...was the grizzly aftermath of what
police officials of upstate New York
are calling a horrible act of
vandalism gone awry.
Andrea turns to the TV, blocking our view. We can only hear

ANCHOR
The powerful explosion is believed
to have been caused by a small
quantity of dynamite.
Andrea's face looks haunted by the on-screen images. She
shakes her head in terror and grabs the remote.
ANCHOR
Police thus far have no leads as to
the suspects...
She clicks off the TV, trembling.

ON TV:
The blazing aftermath of an explosion. Bodies everywhere, police, ambulances and fire trucks attending.
