I hate the press. But I have no idea how they would be able to pass up this tasty story. It has two of the press's favorite things to hype: the word terror (they'll throw that out there when a ferret escapes from its cage at the local petstore) and weird stuff happening on airlines.

I hope this story dies quickly. Glad that everyone is safe, but really, situations like this is why pilots are so highly trained and highly paid, and there's no reason to turn this into a media circus.
