I remember that I was taught never to land on a school - they made a big point about it in fact. They discouraged landing on buildings generally, and told us to pick a nice big field. (Irony is a wonderful thing!).
The popular Press always write in cliches for some reason. I suppose that it's the written equivalent of sound bites - quick attention span stuff. One cliche that always makes me laugh is 'the plane got into a tailspin' (wot that?). It is always 'the brave pilot' as well......
I could imagine an amusing television program devoted to stuff like this i.e. the cliche followed by the correct explanation.
