Jet Incident at Perth
Look at this tardy piece of reporting by Tayissa Barone from the 'West Australian' newspaper.
'The landing gears on a corporate jet collapsed during take-off at Perth Airport this morning.
An Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) spokesman confirmed eight people were on board the Cessna Citation when the incident happened about 6.30am.
He said the landing gears failed as the jet was taxiing for take-off.
The spokesman said there "there may have been sparks and smoke, but everyone is safe".

Perth Airport firefighters and emergency services personnel attended. St John Ambulance was not required.
The ATSB spokesman said the Cessna's had been disabled on the runway after the landing but had since been given permission to be towed.
The spokesman said it was unlikely that the ATSB would investigate the incident.'
Fully informed now? Did the incident occur while taking off, taxiing or landing? How do people with such a poor grasp of writing and facts get jobs as journalists? Work at 'The West' I guess!
