Germanwings plane forced to land in Venice after fears over cabin crew member's health | Daily Mail Online


Here is a prime example of inaccurate and completely unresponsible reporting.

The headlines reads that two emergency landings were performed.

One was a precautionary engine shutdown and the other was a standard medical diversion. (Almost certainly caused by the mass illogical fear and panic the media propagates). There was no emergency landing.


In both cases, as usual, the pilots performed splendidly.

I'm for freedom of the press, but when will we somehow cease to allow hacks like this from praying on public fears to sell advertising spots?

One of these so-called emergency landings was almost certainly created by the media. Instead they should be covering heart disease and car crashes in the same proportion as to which they are killing the public.
