    This could end one of two ways, with either you or Sky looking foolish....

    Sky news? Seriously? I see you have started a separate thread about one of their reporters, too.

    I was at Luton expecting to fly to Greece last September - when the "alarm" went off, we were told it was a fire. It was actually a full-on security alert. As it goes the 'bomb' turned out to be a pair of hair straighteners but that was after about 4 hours and me missing my flight>:(

    So maybe Sky now assume that a "fire" alarm might be a bit more serious?

    To be fair, if there was an issue that would cause Luton airport to close that would ruin the plans of lots of people and is worthy of a mention. Especially as it would have a knock on effect on other connecting airports.

    When it happened to me at least it was a lovely sunny, warm day - wouldn't fancy hanging around Luton carpark today:(
    And yes, the knock on effects of planes and staff not being where they're scheduled to be will be considerable.

    Sky News lost its relevance years ago.

    The channel used to be great around 2000 - it was fresh and vibrant.

    Breaking news is just news that's breaking as far as rolling news channels is concerned.

    "Breaking News" used to signify something mega, as in "We interrupt this programme for breaking news..."

    Many of the news channels are poor with breaking news. It can be very annoying when, e.g., you're watching a documentary or other feature (or you've recorded it).

    Something like 9/11 I'd accept as breaking news. Mr. Cameron deciding he'll take part in election debates isn't. Yet the latter is the kind of thing they often use for breaking news.

    Very true. It's funny how the broadcasters decide what is important with breaking news. Very often I find myself switching off when they start going hey wire and banging on about issues when I consider they are hardly that great in the grand scheme of things.

    I'd give an example if only I could think of one off the top of my head.

    News flash could be in reserve now for the really serious news events.
