More Media Hype!!! - "Drama" for Pax
Drama for Passengers!!
Passengers flying from Auckland to Sydney faced mid-air drama when their plane developed a mechanical problem with one of its wings and was forced to turn back. :} http://www.nzherald.co.nz/topic/stor...ectid=10466954 :} |
Those pesky wings again............................
Forever giving bloody trouble.:ugh: |
Oh, I dunno, I think the article's not too bad. For about the first time EVER I see the media recognizes there's more than one pilot on an airliner!
|
and they also resisted to urge to quote 'Joe Sixpack' who happened to be in seat 36K as some sort of aviation expert (just because he's a frequent flyer)
A good example of this was my in-laws who were trying to explain it to me after having seen the story on the evening news... I managed to decode 'the wing was all broken' (they were making gestures that would have indicated the wing was bent like and upside down corsair) as 'possible issue with asymetric flaps'... |
Not Again
"The plane took off and after 30 minutes of flying, the plane decided to land again," J:E |
Passengers flying from Auckland to Sydney faced mid-air drama although passengers said there was little sign the plane had a mechanical problem. LP :ugh: |
I like how the paper won the Qantarse best news website 2007, the competition must have been fierce!:ouch:
Wouldn't be the first 'bird' with uneven flaps trying to make it from NZ-AU:E |
Passengers were given little information at the time, but as a regular user of Aerolineas Argentinas she had learned to expect "anything". |
