I just saw this AP article on Yahoo- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080725/ap_on_re_as/philippines_emergency_landing
The gist of it is a Quantas flight made an emergency landing after a hole ripped in the side of the fuselage.
I had to laugh at the sentence, "An official of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration said initial reports indicated no link to terrorism."
I suppose they include that preemptively because otherwise people will ask, but still, it seems a bit silly.  Accidents still happen even as the world becomes overly paranoid.
But wait, there's more:
The article points out how calm the passengers were despite there being a hole in the plane.  "June Kane of Melbourne agreed, telling Australia's ABC radio: 'It was absolutely terrifying, but I have to say everyone was very calm.'"
absolutely terrifying = calm?
This word "terror" gets thrown around far too easily I think.
