The post complains about journalistic sensationalism and rightly so but every time an "incident" such as this occurs there is a mad scramble to post every bit of information immediately - regardless of whether it is accurate or not.

The post started by someone saying his wife had just phoned him and did anyone have any details - why was it that important.
The full and correct story comes out in the fullness of time - can't he wait.

This site is accessed by a lot of people who only have a fringe interest in aviation (including journalistics) so please stop scrambling for tit bits and therefore stop feeding the journos.

Keep the responses serious with factual information.
