Inflight emergencies have a common factor- they are all different. Every one. As a general rule: the military will call an emergency early and loudly (they have nothing to gain by keeping it quiet). Commercial ops tend to try and keep a lid on it, lest they be met by a barrage of reporters at the terminal.
If this thread is journo driven; you might try the 'low-fuel' angle. Personally, I believe this is the biggest safety issue in airline ops. Aircraft turning up at their destination on vapour, the crew trying to get down quickly without declaring an emergency (=paperwork, explanations, maybe journos). A totally avoidable situation, brought about by who? Managers under commercial pressure. The same ones who demand minimum fuel, then demand the explanation when it goes wrong. Simple profit versus safety.
Happens daily, and it's only a matter of time (before the next starvation accident).
Not much sensationalism in that, though, is there?
