Emirates jet tail strikes runway during takeoff at Melbourne airport newsworthiness question
I also have a strong interest in aviation, and while this event isn't necessarily all that interesting from an aviation standpoint (for instance if an A319 lost one or both engines during flight, that's something the flight crew trains for, and losing one engine isn't that big of a deal), it is for someone that isn't involved in aviation. It warranted a story on the BBC, and MSNBC and therefore could be considered newsworthy on that point alone.

The fact of the matter is, I considered it newsworthy because I believed that more than just I would like to read that story. Also, if Emirates has any more problems in the near future, especially related to tail strikes, this article can be used as a point of reference. —Calebrw (talk) 15:57, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
