News24: New Age to launch soon... It's been some wait... staff walkouts, delays... but according to editor Henry Jeffreys (who officially started today, Wednesday, 1 December 2010) what many believe will be little more than an ANC mouthpiece is due to greet the slavering masses next Monday.
Mail & Guardian: The plane crash that wasn't... Ah, sorry about that... nothing to see, move along now... SAPA, the news service, may well have had its fill of Unathi Batyashe-Fillis... The spokesperson for the Airports Company South Africa, was quoted by the press agency as saying a plane from Sydney, Australia, had "crash-landed at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning", and that only 50 passengers had been accounted for from "290 passengers on the plane".
After all of that, it was apparently only a drill, which is held every two years - and ACSA says SAPA had been notified via email a few weeks before, which SAPA appears not to have received. The last exercise, in 2008, had a plane being hijacked at the airport. So, put a ring around the date on your calendars for 2012 and if you see a report of a plane crash/hijacking/toilets jammed... check first: It might be a drill - let's hope so.
