Exquisite Journalism

A Ryanair flight bound for Britain has crashed off the runway at a Polish airport

From http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

Good old daily mail.

"It is believed no one has been hurt."

I can't believe no one died. Lucky it wasn't sinking sand.

"Strong winds had forced planes to use the full length of the runway."

Wind was 110/12. With that 'strong wind' I think it's more a case of "Hero Captain saves the day" considering 'It is believed no one has been hurt'.

Finally, the headline:

"Ryanair flight bound for Britain skids off runway in Poland"

Have boeing still not corrected that ultra-low taxi speed skid problem out yet?

Congratulations Daily Mail, once again your reporters have compiled a stunning piece of journalism. It's efforts like this that keep us all wondering why the Politzer Prize hasn't found its way onto your mantelpiece.
