It's a bit much having to pay for your own Taxi home when they've come damn close to killing you :o

There are obvious security issues to consider. After all, this could have been the classic 'crash land the plane then smuggle yourself into the terminal through the back door ploy'...  :-?

"All we were given was a printed leaflet with advice on counselling. Given that we had just survived a major air crash I found it unbelievable that there was no counselling available in the lounge", he said.
I think hes over exagarrating the truth just a wee bit! possibly more of a crash landing, or a minor air incident, I wouldnt class it as a "major air crash!" obviouxly wants as much compensation as he can get!

I'd say that was a pretty major air crash! OK, nobody was killed, but they came within a gnat's whisker of turning into a fireball or crashing into a busy dual carriageway. Had the engines been producing power at the time of impact there may well have been a nasty fire.

I can understand it's unavoidable that they be detained for a little while, but to be denied food, drink and counselling and then expected to find their way home without money is a disgrace.
