I'm certain no-one at Flyertalk would like to be responsible for that!
Especially as we all know the Flying Crew and the Cabin Crew did a wonderful job today and rightly deserve praise!
No one knows the facts, as you point out, so praising anyone seems premature. I'm happy that everyone is alove and well, and I think that ultimately the facts will show that the crew did do everything correctly, but until then, let us neither vilify nor praise anyone too much. Of course, that takes a lot of the fun out of FT
And any press, British or otherwise, who chooses to report based on this thread is going to report based on what their uncle's brother's buddy told them anyways.
