This event happened on the day of the 'terrorrist arrests' probably why it was not splashed through the media.
Spot on my friend. I am also led to believe that the only media flying that day was on the other aircraft that had the "smoke incident". Therefore my thoughts are that the media assumed that they were one in the same and as the majority of the media were chasing terrorists, aviation could have a rest from the news for a change.
Perhaps we only rate a mention on a slow news day???
