A light note on this serious subject.

A colleague in our newsroom asked me if I was aware of the transatlantic flight that had diverted to Glasgow the previous day due to a bomb scare. He told me the aircraft was on a flight out of London and belonged to "Ted Airlines".

Now I consider myself resonably knowledgable on the names of transatlantic carriers but I'd never heard of Ted Airlines so I asked him for more details.

He told me to look at the picture in the morning paper - and there it was. Clear as anything. "TED AIRLINES". Strange what can can happen when door 1L is open and obscures part of the company name.
