Crew gun-mugged in Rio
British Airways flight crew held-up at gunpoint by armed robber in Brazil | London Evening Standard
Many years ago, one of our pilots shoved a Rio mugger into the road where he was hit by a bus 
The attacker held the gun against one of the crew’s face before forcing him and his son to hand over their phones and money
Nope, some definitely had, and at least one of those involved was a very very experienced Longhaul guy who has been around the network for years and into Rio few times.
Other crew members have been robbed etc in the past, crew are made aware of the risk but sometimes it's wrong place, wrong time.
As for the news coverage I think it was a case of farce book and a slow news day,

Brazil as a whole is in a tailspin, the videos coming out of that country show a particularly nasty level of social decay, and Rio is ground zero.
Very happy to hear the crew is ok.
