Incredible
No babies screamed in terror, no women fainted, and no schools were in the flight path endangering thousands of children.
And this from aircraft that was so badly damaged that is had to have a quick check by and engineer before it was able to fly again.
Good job the mail didn't report it.
:eek::eek::eek:
