Broadband,
as you put it back on thread.
If you knew anything then you would know that there was an initial report from Reuters within about 6 hours of the event happening, mostly reported by the experienced press photographer who was onboard the a/c with his family. CX initially refused to comment and I think made their
very bland statement late on the day of the event.
So the rest of the world had mostly the verbal experiences of the pax to go on, and in their own way they retold the story as they experienced it - educated or not in the field of aviation and engine failures - to them a fire
is a fire, the light's going out is the lights going out, a bang
could be an explosion, severe vibration can be anything their minds think....
Yes, there is sensationalism in the press. And I'm certain you're right that Simon spelt the skippers name wrong - but considering he wouldn't have got any of that from CX, what's the use in crying?
But if you find CX's uber-conservative nature soothing, and the
PR machine flawless - trust me it's so much better to know the truth, than the 9th floor view of the world.....
Best Regards,
