Journalism at its best
Here is the story synopsis from news.com.au today:
A PASSENGER has told of her terror when a plane descended about 30,000 feet an hour into a Qantas flight.
30,000ft an hour....wow that must have been terrifying!!!
Wonder if FOQA picked up such a high rate of descent

Wasn't there news on the other day about an aircraft go-around due to crosswinds. Terrified passengers feared for their lives as the crew attempted to try to land again.

Nothing wrong with the journalism, could be a reader issue...
I've made it a bit simpler by changing 'an' into 'one' - A PASSENGER has told of her terror when a plane descended about 30,000 feet one hour into a Qantas flight

The piece does not improve after reading the abstract either....The plane descended from 40,000 feet to 10,000feet. (Yep it will do that)...
and
I looked out the window and could clearly see the ground....(Oh thank goodness for that...I would be more concerned if I saw blue)

Canterbury is correct mate. To quote you
30,000ft an hour....wow that must have been terrifying!!!

The article did not say 30,000ft PER hour - it said 30,000ft after it had been airborne for an hour. Quite different.
Can't believe I'm even pointing this out. Actually I can't believe Canterbury had to point it out to you and that you chose to have a dig at him because you STILL didn't get it. ICAO English level 2 for you.
