Just read on the Ninemsn website that the Aircraft "Returned for a crash landing"



I guess the fact that he landed normally means he "Failed" to make a crash landing!!

What P!22es me off is that whenever I've had any type of incident over the years, I've had to try hard to make decisions based on what was best, and dissregard the possibility of ending up in the papers. I remember a Captain once stopping me from asking for a priority approach as we had a sick passenger because "The press listen to the radio." (Appalling decision making I agree, but it shows how it can affect some peoples thinking.)

It's just one more subtle pressure you don't need at such times.
