I am 100% in agreement with the views expressed about press over-reaction both previously and in this thread, and showing clips of the Paris incident is just ludicrous, however, as a passenger, a 'mis-firing' of an engine at almost 60,000 feet and twice the speed of sound, is news and of interest to a lot of people

Comparisons like 'its just like your car mis-firing' are equally nonsensical, as a car that misfires is generally an old piece of cr*p, and this is a regularly maintained supersonic airliner. Also, not a lot can really go wrong at 1.5 feet and 15mph

Just thought it worth mentioning that this is indeed news worth reporting, just not in the manner we now get from the likes of Sky
