TERROR AT 25,000 FEET! (or not)

Thought you’d like to see how different papers report on the same thing.  Remember the Qantas flight that landed with a huge hole in the side?  It had started off in London and was on its last leg home to Melbourne, Australia, when, cruising at 29,000 feet a loud bang was heard, oxygen masks deployed and the jet descended to 10,000 feet.  All landed safely.  Apparently an oxygen tank blew up in the luggage compartment.

So here’s different headlines:

You gotta love the British, for some reason they always have the most outlandish and the most reserved way of presenting just about anything.

Turns out the passengers didn’t react much – check out a passenger’s photo – after a few minutes they went back to reading.  No screaming, no nothing.
