I beg to differ.
There are many that would suggest that giving a voice to nonsense like this is what is wrong with pprune. After all, this is the 'Professional Pilots Rumour network'. Whilst it is obvious that you have posted this in the spotters forum, it was also obvious that pilots would read it. The point is, of course, that you have identified a specific flight, and by that, a specific crew and made observations that would be amusing if made by a child, but that are frankly pathetic for an adult.
I refer you to a couple of your points...
The inbound Emirates flight came in so low over the plant we seriosuly thought we had had it !
The aircraft was not on its normal decent (glide path) and was way low with frequent changes to the pitch and roll being evident from the ground.
We have a 150ft cooling tower in the side of the paintshop and the aircraft only just cleared it before a very loud "go around" or take off level of engine noise as it apparantly struggled to climb high enough to clear the raised section of the M6.
I polled others - equally as inexperienced at spotting as I am - using the 150ft tower as a guide the overwhealming opinion was that it was no more than 300ft up as it came over the plant.
I have tried to take the steam out of peoples thoughts but when one senior manager on the north side of the plant thought it was coming in through his office window ("I thought my number was up you could see into the cockpit") something really did happen in this case.
I find it difficult to believe you can try and defend those comments without at the very least feeling uncomfortable. Personally, i'd be embarrassed. You reported this to ATC, which in turn suggests that you also believe they cannot do their job. If there was ever an issue, it would have been dealt with long before your 'overwhealming opinion' (sic) came along.
A quote from one of your other posts:
Onur Air depressurisation (Another - "Jet Plunge Nightmare")
Now even my local rag is carrying bizzare sensationalist stories........
best quote "the newlyweds clung to each other" - I bet they did !
Anyone with the real story ?

I think if you played "terror" buzzword bingo this actually uses every single phrase associated with this kind of dross.
So you know this kind of stuff is crap, yet you post it yourself. Dr Jeckyll, let me introduce Mr Hyde.
