Don’t like how the headline says “plummets”, which implies an uncontrolled fall. The correct terminology here is “dives”. They took “plummet” from the quote of a passenger, to whom the experience was indeed like random drop, but in the headline they use active voice with intent (“to avoid a potential collision”), which is the perspective of the pilot, so active control terminology should be used.
On top of that, while willing to use the wrong terminology for the maneuver, they’re extra careful with “avoid potential collision”
Bitch they avoided a collision, no need to allegedly this.
Could be worse but glad everyone is ok.
