One is a "rogue" airliner over London, immediately followed by a Tube
train stuck under the Thames. And the tunnel is leaking....

Well that was fun, wasn't it children? Form three Guardian readers into
a committee and watch them wring their hands and dither.

I expected there was going to be a certain amount of hand-wring, but
wasn't prepared for just how ludicrously over-cautious they were. In
the case of the airliner, I was sat there shouting, "shoot the *******
down!" at the TV while they were still arguing whether or not to try
to get it to divert to Stansted!

Still not convinced of the Underground angle, either....
