I followed the saga on FR, while listening to the live feed from the control tower. Not a hint of panic in the voices there. I think it was entirely the media that made this out to be a huge deal.
Media making non-events into a big deal??
No, you don't say!
I was watching the live video internet link to the KCBS TV in Los Angles of the plane landing at LAX , and one of the news people mentioned that, and said that the pilot was so relaxed and claim and he said and gave orders that once he lands to keep the ( @$%#$ ) media away from him ( we can only guess he cant stand the MSM ).
