'Wing flaps failed' on Spain jet


The wing flaps on a plane that crashed in Madrid last month did not open properly during take-off, investigators have found, Spanish media say.
The investigation discovered that the pilots were unaware of the problem because a cockpit warning alarm did not go off, El Pais newspaper reported.
The Spanair plane plunged to the ground shortly after take-off, killing 154 people on board.
It was the deadliest air crash in Spain in 25 years.

It is a report of a report hence the quotes around the headline, and the phrase 'Spanish media say'.

'El Pais newspaper reported'

Is that not clear?
