"dramatic moment"
"packed British holiday jet"
"just minutes after take-off..."
"major situation alert"
"terrified passengers"
"immediate wave of alarm through the plane"
So there's no apparent drama from where a punter is sat?

It could well have been full.

Just minutes - true, it's very emotive, replace with soon.

Major situation alert - I was in the area and heard Turin was closed due to an emergency, I heard diversions. Minor stuff.

People who aren't au fait with flying every week do, believe it or not, get frightened of flying. Most passengers would reasonably be afraid.

No alarm whatsoever. Never felt your heart skip a beat when you had to do an emergency stop on the road?

The tired old cliché is trotting out the usual garbage about journalistic reports on aviation incidents that are newsworthy to people who don't have to deal with them day in and day out.
