This said, a recurring fire in the cockpit is a very serious issue - I just wish the media would write it up as a very serious issue without adding hysteria on top of that.


NineMSN has footage of interviews with said terrified passengers here - http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/...ight-to-cairns
