Well the ABC seems to have reported it well. "Pilots shut down engine" and "Appearing to spark" were the most dramatic words.
And linked to a twitter vid from a pax of the sparks. No "we're going to die" or other stuff, just the QF spokesman with the usual line.
Well done.
The question remains if it's actually newsworthy, but once it's in the open, it's of enough interés that they have to report it
