Yes, it's a frustratingly common practice to read a headline, think of something you want to say based on that. Come to the comments, flick open the article to briefly check the comment isn't incompatible. Then upon finding the co

Look at how the story had all but disappeared until there was a non-fatal incident that happened to a US airline. Everyone across the media and anyone from regulators to legislators sprung into action focusing their attention and making dem
