What should be done with the media reports?

Recommended Posts

Lots had been said by the media regarding MH 124's incident and the AF 340 incident in Toronto. Yet a major part of it had been fictional and not facts. For instance, they reported that a member of the cabin crew on board MH 124 had prayed and crawled on his knees. And then Malay Mail drew sketches of oxygen masks hanging over the cabin to create a visual chaos situation. What can we do bout it as this kind of reports tarnishes the airline's good name...as aviation enthusiasists...its really disheartening to read reports which are false...how can we help?

I don't think there's anything that can be done..... The airline involved may file lawsuits against the press, but then again it won't help as the newspaper reported the incident as they were told by the "survivors".

 

Filing lawsuits against these the survivor may not be a wise move either. I guess we must understand that they just survived from any traveller's nightmare and the media interviewed them at this point. Many didn't understand what went wrong and tt will take them time to settle down and find out what exactly happened.

 

As long as it can be proven that MAS' crew haven't done anything wrong, then MAS cannot be blamed. MAS is not the only airline who suffered from these media attack, we know that the press and media is good at making up stories (like a 747 instead of 777) to get people to read their news.

 

Sadly, a lot of people are willing to buy bad stories than the good ones....

The media were mostly preying on the passengers who would wish to give accounts of the incident. Some might be even over-stated. You know when you were in such chaos, many things happen within a few seconds.
