A couple of pictures form a few minutes ago - they are not too good as it was quite a distance from me.

Good news, the aircraft landed safely at Gatwick.

Unfortunately a few hundred holidays spoiled.

The pilot did his job for which he was well trained.

Hardly a "hero".

Daily Mail reporting is just OTT

Mike Kaufman, who was on the plane, said it would go down as one of the 'greatest emergencies in history'.

Why?

And more hyperbole:

• "Incredible footage shows 747's emergency landing head on"
• "Video from inside stricken Virgin jet "
