For once it seems that the event has been given proper attention - a short, fact based item without sensationalised passenger descriptions or half a page of "Qantas planes have recently ......." etc.

Heard about the incident from a friend a looked it up online - noticed that the piece had been moved off the page just a few hours later. Surely this is roughly the attention such items deserve - a straightforward report that says it happened, was dealt with by the crew and now everything's back to normal. It's news because it's mildly out-of-the-ordinary, not because some wannabe pilot hack journo tried to take it up a few notches with vivid yet impossibly inaccurate third party descriptions and an attempted link to any other incident with a red tail involved.
