Apparently there was a fire (or something) on a Monarch plane from Birmingham yesterday:

What really annoys me about these sort of stories is:

He said people ... were surprised to find that paramedics were not immediately waiting for them.

WTF, no one was injured, there was no medical emergency, why would a paramedic be needed - perhaps some sweet tea or something stronger, but certainly not an paramedic crew that could actually be better used saving peoples lives.
