The coverage I saw was very smpathetic. On the lunchtime mainstream news, then News 24 for quite some time, including a long hold waiting for it to get airborne. All those interviewed were knowledgeable and positive, and there was no commentary at all during take off roll and climbout. It even got a mention on the weather forecast. And no mention of how many hospital beds/teachers salaries/hip operations could have been provided from thesame amount of money.
