MB - I think (?) you are mistaking me for an apologist for sensational journalism.
I am not.
Those of us in the industry take a calm measured and analytical approach to incidents/accidents however small they are. We try to make reasoned judgements based on years of experience, which go on to increase the level of safety in civil avaiation.
I believe that you are getting exercised about the journos/sensationalist reporting of 'minor' incidents. Nothing will change that - it is part and parcel of our modern world.
The difference between safety awareness and sensationalism is something most industry professionals are accutely aware of - it is our job. We are not in the business of making tommorrows fish and chip wrapping..
Thankfully this incident will be digested and analysed by people who don't subscribe to hyperbolic and sensational language and..hopefully the result will be improved safety. And that..is professionalism.
I do not need a lesson a lesson on perspective.
N1 - well said my friend.
