Default Re: QANTAS JUMBO EMERGENCY LANDING

>>As an aside, I love the way the media keep banging on about it "plunging" like this was some sort of uncontrolled dive brought about by the damage to the aircraft, as opposed to a perfectly controlled emergency decent in accordance with standard operating procedures. When you read press reports about something of which you have a good understanding, and see what trash they put out, it makes you think about all the other stories you take at face value because you know no better.<<

And the way the Oz press went on about the captain using his "memory checklist" - in quotes - giving the image of the crew making things up as they went along!
