Redundancy (again!)

Mt. Angel man dies in fatal crash near Silverton

[From the Statesman-Journal, Saturday November 3, 2012.   The headline writer is just trying to be helpful, so you don't think a man died in a non-fatal crash.]

 

Another redundancy was a TV reporter, "...and you have to see this firsthand with your own eyes to really understand the extent..."  As opposed to seeing it secondhand with your own eyes? Or firsthand through someone else's eyes?
