Newsworthy?

Landing aborted at Adelaide Airport

A Virgin Blue jet had to abandon its final approach into Adelaide Airport last night to avoid a light plane that was on a cross runway.

Airservices Australia says at about 7:00pm air traffic control calculated clearance times and decided against letting the 737 land.

The Virgin jet circled and landed safely on a second approach.

Airservices Australia says the air traffic controllers followed routine procedure.


is it just me, or is that news story basically

'Overnight, two planes didn't crash at adelaide airport. The safety procedures worked, and the air traffic controllers did their job'


I guess in Adelaide, every day is a slow news day...

A few weeks ago, news.com.au published what they believe may well be circumstantial evidence that Bono isn't cheating on his wife.

you sort of expect that from news.com.au. This was the ABC, for shame...
