Post Number one lists the Sydney Morning Herald headline:
Quote:
Qantas crash in Los Angeles causes millions of dollars damage
Is it just me, or is this more appalling sensationalist journalism - calling a ground towing collision / hangar rash a "CRASH"??

In an aviation context a "crash" implies a major disaster during T/O, LDG or inflight.

Then again the SMH loves beating up QANTAS
.........and they classified the BA B744 taxi prang at Jo'burg an " incident "!!!
When someone pointed that out THAT IT WAS TECHNICALLY AN ACCIDENT, his/her post was removed pronto, before you could finish saying " utter codswallop "!
