Anyone else spot a very clear clue in the BBC story as to why THIS particular incident hit the international news?
A BBC World Service reporter on board said the mood on the plane became heated.
Now, far be it from me to suggest that a journalist might use his contacts to publicise a story, but....
Yeah, it was badly handled by AI but I'm not sure the story merited the amount of coverage it's had worldwide on the BBC tonight/this morning!
