I believe this excellent piece of journalism may have something to do with an attempt to blackmail QF. Apparently a pilot was looking at photos of the damaged aircraft on their laptop in London. Fortunately for the citizens of the world an upstanding gentleman was looking over the pilots shoulder and then confronted the pilot about the photos.

Within a couple of days this heroic gent was demanding to speak to Geoff and demanding all sorts of rewards as hush payments. With out hush payments our intrepid fellow was going to go to Today Tonight or ACA. I am scratching my head to think why seven picked up the story.

The unfortunate thing for him is that it was a complete non event, not a safety concern in sight. In fact it was excellently handled by the tech crew and cabin crew. The event was also a very good example of CRM with both sides of the cockpit door communicating in a professional manner to ensure that a potential safety concern resulted in a non event.
