I wouldn't get too upset about anything published in the yellow press. It was obviously a slow news day and they must have had that story canned for a while and dredged it up when they had empty space. Sounds like a timeless story.

I don't think the person planning a holiday in Mallorca is going to cancel his trip because of this. Sh*t happens. We have railway accidents, we have ship accidents, car accidents and we also have airplane accidents. I don't think that the Sun is particularly after the airline industry.

Don't get your bowels in an uproar over this one. It's a non-newspaper which people read for entertainment and not fact.

Interestingly, did the photos carry any credits (AP, Reuters, AFP, etc.). If not, the Sun probably lifted them from a web site. Now, that is criminal.
