Agreed, the Press have really kicked over several buckets of smelly stuff this morning, starting from a mid air explosion to a crash, one major agency had even found the wreckage before the plane landed!! Heavens, some of these guys really need to get their act together. Hope those with the quick typing fingers get a nice interview with their editor in chief and one of those "tea, no bisquits" treatments.
Unfortunately not. Finding the wreckage will be considered a 'High Five' and even a Beer. This is how 'reporting' is these days. With the footage from the mobile phone relayed around the world as soon as the pax were in the terminal? With everyone blogging and phoning the meedja? Not nice but that is how it is going to be for a long time. No carrier is safe from this behaviour and PR departments have to play catch-up but NOT in the old fashion way of pretending that all was just fine.
