Crash trucks? Emergency Landing? Because a first officer was landing a plane?
From ABC News website
While Continental Flight 61 was still in the air, even respectable media outlets like the Wall Street Journal blared: “Continental Captain Dies On Flight To Newark, Emergency Landing At Noon.”
Media websites carried doom-laden statements about the impending crisis, and TV stations broadcast video of the runway lined with emergency vehicles.
Follow-up articles were headlined, almost with surprise: “Pilot dies midflight, but jet able to land safely.”
