Only missed out the word ‘exploded’ …

One intrepid reporter from a local TV station here reported that the Qantas A380 incident a couple of weeks ago .. the aircraft skidded down the runway with one engine completely missing

Qantas is to resume some A380 services from Saturday more than three weeks after one of its Airbus superjumbos made an emergency landing after an engine exploded

Note the dramatic journalistic word “exploded” at the end of the snippet. Yuk

Just missing out on a few dramatic descriptive words and phrases I guess. It sells newspapers and keeps the ‘drama queens’ in a job.
