Tuned in to the 9.00 am Sky News report to hear this response from Michael Sharp. Funnily enough, it wasn't there. Instead I heard:
"The landing gear burst into flames after making an emergency landing" - doesn't sound anything like the reported smoke coming from the gear after arriving at the gate.
"The Captain sounded the fire alarm" - I can't remember a "fire alarm" on the 744.
The passengers were evacuated through the side doors" - as oppposed to the front and back doors?
Ah yes, it's good to see that journalism standards regarding aviation incidents (by some organisations) has maintained its usual standard. While this was undoubtedly, a significant safety-related event, it in no way justifies this type of sensationalist reporting.
