The only problem here is, that this first story was released by Lufthansa themselves. Tabloids as well as press did not carry the incident - despite the huge preparation for the landing in Graz - until Lufthansa came out with that explanation, only revoked in the afternoon. I too would not have bothered with just press reports ...
