Aeroplane makes emergency landing
Tuesday, 30 August 2005, 10:27 GMT 11:27 UK
The plane was forced to land at Belfast City Airport
A plane carrying 71 passengers has made an emergency landing at Belfast City Airport.
The Flybe flight took off from the airport on its way to Liverpool but developed technical problems about 15 minutes into the journey.
A full emergency plan was put into place as a precautionary measure as the plane returned to the airport.
It landed safely at about 0925 BST and the passengers have been transferred to another flight.

Looks like a factual report to me, nothing sensational, point ends. Where's the "dramatising" and "lazy" bits?
Don't let facts get in the way of a good chance to insult someone, eh?

It was a bird strike - on a BMI flight coming into BHD. The pilot reported seeing a tortoise on the runway as he came in to land. He did not indicate whether the tortoise made it. The bird did not.

Must have been another case of "Dirt in the Toolbox" causing a precautionary landing & witnessed by a Aerosexual (sorry I meant to say Spotter) Journo along the Airport Fence looking for something to fill his news report with!

You also have to remember that for the emergency services, any aircraft which has reported a 'problem' is either a 'local' or 'full' emergency, which actually refers to size of aircraft rather than the problem itself.

A two engine A/C with one shut down is always gonna be at least a " Full Emergency" response at least.
As for the Tortoise on A2 Rwy intersection. It turned out to be a fully grown and very healthy Terrapin which is doing fine up on the North coast.

146 saves the day again! How many times is that now? Must be in the tens of thousands.... 
That Q400 sure is a hangar queen.
Had a few engine failures over the years. With the two I had in the 146, nobody knew about until I told them. Much less trauma involved that way...
