"OK, Daily Mail, but anyone know the true story?"
The comments in the Mail do include a somewhat more balanced one (than Dan's) from another of the passengers on board:

"I must refute the story of horror and terrified passengers as utter crap. Everyone was calm and the crew were excellent. What Dan failed to say was that captain announced that the best weather in the south of England at the time was Birmingham so we would continue with an on time arrival. Having just left Guernsey with a strong crosswind and wet runway with turbulence in the climb even Dan should have known it would not be a good idea to return with just one engine."
