Well said AM.

There are some extremely arrogant people on this site who again fail to understand how it may have been for some of the pax on this flight in this incident and are more interested in trying to belittle those involved.

I would hope that the suggestion "Passenger aircraft shouldn't have windows down the back. It would cut the majority of the crap you read in the papers!" is not a serious attempt at debate.

Yes - we all know that many journos want to sensationalise and are often inaccurate but this happens in many other fields of industry where they are certainly not expert. Similarly many passengers know little or nothing of how an aeroplane works and certainly will not have a clue in such circumstances.

However I would like to see how the family and friends of some of our intrepid posters would react if something similar happened to them. Such an incident can be VERY alarming and people shouldn't be too quick to shoot SLF down in flames just because with the benefit of inside knowledge and hindsight they 'know' all turns out well. When an engine behaves like that and you are sitting next to it as a nervous flyer then see how you feel.
