Congratulations on a job well done by the crew of QF30.

Its a pity that the dumb journalist's and other media muppets don't have to go under rigorous training every year to maintain their qualifications!

Watched three different news reports on Saturday night, not one got anything factually correct or near the truth. For example the Alohoa airlines accident that they all quoted happened in 1998, 1975 and 1999, and the aircraft involved was a B747, B727 and aging airliner. I thought 1988 was the year and a Boeing B737.

Another journalist quoted the pilot used instinct to descend the aircraft, another said the pilot contacted authorities and asked for advice. Yet another raised concerns about rust being the cause.

ABC had some British aviation expert quoting that it wasn't a terrorist attack, one must be a bloody expert if you can be in Britain and look at media footage and determine the cause!
