Stallie; good effort but you missed a couple of obvious ones:

"....dozens of terified passengers were seconds from a fiery death....." (13 pax = 1.083 dozens)

" ......the plane was forced to conduct a full emergency landing....."as opposed to a partial emergency

"....terrified passengers were treated for shock....." don't even start me on the medias perpetual fascination with 'shock' which is a clinical and life threatening condition and should NEVER be confused with 'shaken' or 'upset'...

"..... a brave young hostess attempted to calm stricken passengers........"

"....a Civil Aviation Safety Authority source said that the troubled new airline is under close scrutiny after a number of similar episodes....." well, one IS a number.

etc, etc, etc
