Iberia Incident

What sensationalist and innaccurate reporting in the papers re this incident.... I have it on good authority that the fire was in the power unit at the rear...was not spotted until landing ..and the crew had no indication of it from the cockpit instruments.....was dealt with by the fire crews from some newspaper reports…

from some newspaper reports one would think the machine landed in flames.....

I also had to laugh at the news and paper reports myself this morning. I think is it was FM104 that led with the story that all passengers are safe after the emergency landing and also seemed exagerate the whole incident.
Must be a slow news day.
