Most of this was WAAAAY over hyped, I think the worst was the woman on the A320 with a gear problem, they kept coming back to her because she said so much how she was near to dying! As an experienced person in aviation he should have been pointing out how, landing at an airfield with almost any gear problem there might be aircraft damage, but the only likely injuries would be on an evacuation (actually a bit that people do not think of as dangerous, but in many incidents where most, mainly minor, injuries occur). same with the fan failure, as an engineer he MUST know that the casing is designed to largely contain this, so all the "this would go straight through the fuselage" was again over the top!
The only one with any sensible level of reporting was the BA failure, but even this put as much emphasis as he could on the likelihood of people being killed!
