'twas in this mornings Daily Mail as well. I read it with some amusement over breakfast! Disappointed that there was no grappling with controls or nearby schools. Not even so much as a nun with a guitar
Come on guys at the mail. You can do bettert han this!
One thing that occurs to me is
a) Most passengers aren't used to being in aircraft, so
anything out of the ordinary can be really scary,
b) The opportunity to get their / your name in the papers doesn't happen too often for most people so you can't really blame the passengers for talking the story up a bit!
Go gently with Joe public, by all means lambast the press
