PC767 indicates to me a total lack of awareness of the redundancy-upon-redundancy built into the commercial aviation system. Of the many many thousands of parts in an airliner, despite the best attention of the wrenchbenders, occasionally something doesn't work quite right and the journos shove a microphone & camera in an inconvenienced pax's face and ask "How does that make you feel?" (That's what they're trained to do!)

If journalism had 1% of the professional integrity of a good airline, you'd see a HUGE difference in its product.
