What's going on with CO with all the news lately? I think it all started after the two winter storms in the NE when CO hardly gets any mentioned in the press, with B6 grabbing most of the headlines. Since then, I remember reading:
- "772 in near crash at EWR when GE90 exploded at most critical point at takeoff"
- "772 from HKG quarantined with 75 sick passengers onboard - recalling SARS"
- "Heartless pilot kicked coughing girl off his plane"
- "NRT flight diverted to ANC after toothless naked lady pissed over herself in BF"
- "Israeli Air Force seconds from shooting down CO's brand new 772"
Anything else I missed?
Well, actually not all the above made it to the real news channels, and I totally exaggerated the headlines. Just trying to have some fun. Please keep this thread lighthearted if you can.

Thanks for the suggestion, and I didn't forget, but if you read the lists, I'm putting together headlines that are really non-news, or is something relative trivial but was mentioned in the media and newsgroups, often way out of proportion.
That landing incident at EWR was not a trivial matter, and that's why I didn't include it.
It also happened a while before my original post.

Pretty bad publicity for CO
