Unsettled eyewitness?!
A spotter is bound to have filmed it - another big story!
Actions of Air New Zealand jets unsettle eyewitness

For some contrast, this is a CBC News report of an on board fire on a United 777 yesterday. The Herald needs to take some lessons.
A United Airlines flight from Newark to Brussels made an emergency landing at the Halifax airport Tuesday night after fire broke out on board.
Cpl. Angie Hawryluk with Halifax District RCMP says the fire was contained to the galley area of the aircraft. Crew members were able to put it out with the on board fire extinguisher before landing.
Airport authorities say the pilot made the decision to divert to Halifax. Cpl. Hawryluk says the emergency landing went smoothly and passengers were able to deplane normally.
The Halifax Stanfield Fire Crew are at the scene. No one was injured.

Brilliant, framer! Put it in neon and shove it up the editor's nose ... or other orifice if appropriate.
