Troo Wal,
Wot was suprising is that this 'news item' was repeated throughout the afternoon in PERTH!!
Like, its really NEWS or sumphin'??
NO kindergarden / oldies nursing home involved, a 'normal' S/E ldg one would assume as nil 'other event' resulting from it ....the u/c remained 'attached'.....everyone 'deplaned' (That's 'got the splinters out'...) normally and safely.... Crew got to go home safely.....
Where's the actual NEWS in the public interest???
Perhaps the item should have read something like, 'Despite having one propeller stopped (Journo's phrase...) this QANTAS employed pilot exercised his skill and training in the true QANTAS tradition and brought his stricken aircraft in to land safely, in truly adverse conditions'.....
Now, something like that COULD be 'blown out' to a whole column on a 'slow news' day I reckon....
Any 'creative' takers??
