"terrible mid-air scare"
News.com.au today reports of a "mid air scare" on a flight into Cairns this week on which Danni Minogue was a passenger....
"Dannii Minogue was reportedly caught up in a mid-air scare on a recent flight to Australia when the plane had trouble landing.
The singer was travelling with her son Ethan to Cairns when dense fog meant the pilot struggled to land the jet".
"We had the most terrible landing. We were coming down to land and suddenly shot straight back up again", a friend of Minogue's told the UK's Metro newspaper."
"There was too much cloud and the pilot could not see the runway. It was all very scary."
The plane landed safely.
Minogue was travelling to Cairns to film a scene for her UK TV show The X Factor.
Now....I cannot believe what I had just read. I cannot believe this is actually a headline on news.com.au. Fog in Cairns...not unusual either is fog in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane for that matter. VERY scary, I doubt it. Unsettling maybe but which ever airline this was (they didn't mention) I'm sure the pilots whould have informed the pax of the situation and procedure before or after the fact. They are reporting like it's the first go around ever done. At least it wasn't for a mech reason, now that would have made front page of all national and UK papers. Ridiculous. Pilot "struggled", how the hell would they know? Sounds routine to me. No offence to Ms Minogue it's the stupid reporters that have nothing better to do that really irks me.
