Daily Mail Reporting...New Depths of Exaggeration

[Garry Russell]

I don't think they should be allowed to report in such a manner

Great use of the English language;

'fearing for their lives, streaks of flames, a blast rocked the Lufthansa Airbus, blaze ripped through the aircraft, Pilots battled to control the jet'.

'The French-based firm, who produce the world’s largest plane the A380, are yet to confirm if they will be suspending further flights of the A321'. The Daily Mail live in hope however that they will.

Amazing, it says 'A full investigation has now been launched by the airliner and Airbus to determine the exact cause of the accident.'

I know todays aircraft are very high tech, but didn't realise they were capable of carrying out their own investigations
As for the blaze ripping through the aircraft, how did it ever get back?

Oh well at least you're guaranteed amusement with the Daily Mail.

Amazing how the 321 had morphed into an A.380 before landing

Ugly getting uglier Garry?

Quite possible - being Airbus.

Lazy lazy writing... one reason that the only reason I ever see a Daily Mail is if I pick a free one up to use as cat-litter-tray lining. Having the cats wee and poo on it is some how satisfying.

I've only ever bought the Daily Mail once, well it might have been the Sunday Mail (or the Saturday one) as they were giving away a free director's cut version of The Wicker Man. I thought it was ironic at the time as their journalists could all easily be inhabitants of Summer Isle.

Yes, what a rubbish report.
What were they thinking to use THAT "file photo"?
Oh, and they need to change their spell - checker (they probably entered "chequer" and decided there wasn't one)......in the UK, and Australia, it's AIRCRAFT or AEROPLANE, not AIRPLANE.

Hi,

Only the short version but it reminded me of this,

Perhaps i should show Boris this, it might make him understand why we don't need an airport here off the Isle of Grain in the Thames Estuary, seeing there has been bird sanctuary's here for more than 50 yrs.

Cheers,

Roger.
