A sad event, I feel for the pilots. A crash is bad, burns are so much worse...
Stewmath,
Your being quoted would seem to be the action of over zealous, wreckless reporting. Perhaps in the context of "news" publications in England turning over a new leaf after phone tapping scandals, you should contact the offending publication, and ask for a retraction of your quote, citing the error they have made. I'm not suggesting this to put you on the spot, but rather to have that publication put on the spot. You were quoted, you're entitled to do that.
To have a news publication quote a "rumour network", without independently checking the authenticity of the information being reported, is totally irresponsible! If editors can loose jobs over phone tapping, should they not loose jobs for allowing un checked quotes from a rumour network on the internet?
