Sensationalism ... in the skies of Aberdeen?

To be honest, I don't see it as that sensationalist, really.

It tells the reader about the AIRPROX process, which is a lot more than other articles tend to do.

I can't see anything factually incorrect there. :confused:

You misunderstand, I was merely posing the question of whether this is/will be sensationalised or not ... the report itself appears quite factual. No additions of the a/c being over a school, or people clinging to their seats in terror, or the fact that a travelling band of nuns were on board ...

In that case, you win this year's PPRune award for the most misleading title.:ugh:

FWOF 26th Oct 2007 12:30

I think not ... hence the question mark.

The pomposity on this board never ceases to amaze me.

Hmm...fast jet in the CTA...my money is on there being no radar return on him..aren't transponders supposed to be permanently on if fitted??!

Sensationalist?
 
This is the same website/newspaper that reported the previous day that the pilot of a B73H had "reversed onto the grass"

I'll say no more :}

Ah - the Press and Journal....the paper which headlined the day the Titanic sunk with "Northeast man dies in ship tragedy"

No tailspins (what?) and no heroes swerving/swooping to avoid a primary school. It seems a surprisingly level-headed article to me. We could do with a few more like it.

Am I the only one who's missed the point of this thread?! :rolleyes:

eastern wiseguy 26th Oct 2007 15:03

I agree...what IS the point?.It seems factual and clear but some IT wallah wants to make some "point" which eludes me. If "pomposity" gets you.....NON stories get me.

Mods please delete or move as this is neither Rumour nor News..

Really? Well you can have the crown for King of the Pompous backsides today! It suits you, very well! :ok:

eastern wiseguy 26th Oct 2007 19:06

Simply explain to me why you think that this account required your input?

BOAC 26th Oct 2007 19:08

OK boys and girls. I think we have explored this one enough. Case closed. Cold compresses (or beers) all round.
