Pathetic journalism...

This story was shown by the SMH today...

http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-...723-2qfje.html

The facts as far as I can tell are: after a successful landing, the nose gear collapsed, all passengers and crew left the aircraft without significant injury via the slides. (leave via the slide-rafts and some one will probably break a fingernail).

Bugger.

Yet, in the same piece we are told it was a *crash landing* and 8 were injured, plus two died in a (not stated but, totally unrelated ) aviation incident on the other side of the USA about 2 weeks earlier

This is tacky BS IMHO. The media *really* need to be given a reality check.
