Tangledwood BS: Qantas A380 blows engine (53* d) RE: BS: Qantas A380 blows engine 04 Nov 10

Whilst understandably shaken, passengers who 'defied death' in this incident are really just being a bit 'drama-queen' ish.

As the news was breaking on ABC TV yesterday arvo interviewed passengers said that everybody was calm. They praised the cabin crew's handling of the situation and that the passengers were kept informed at all times. As usual it seems to be the media that introduce the phrases such as 'defied death'. Even on ABC's own evening news the journalist's description and choice of words didn't match that from the passengers.
