Reporting

The usual cliches are present in the mainstream news:
1. Fatal plunge
2. 'There was a stall of the engine of that plane and it has come down and collided with the corner of a house....' (Police inspector)
3. 'I heard the engine roar'
4. "I heard the motor squeal.'
5. The pilot did a good job of keeping away from houses.'
6. The pilot is a hero

I really wish a bit more thought would go into the reporting which simply seems to be quoting verbatim anything that is said.
