internet - Three versions of the Linyi Airport incident




ESWN gives three different editions of the incident that has ignated the internet in China. A very useful way to deal with the wide range of rumors that go around on the internet, although none of the stories really increases my sympathy for Mr Wang Tingjiang, the NPC-delegate who got entangled in a brawl earlier this week.
"They beat the guy up," said in the quoted report of Nanfang.net Wang Tingjiang said that there was not not a dozen, but only 'six or seven' people. "The beating was not that severe."
Wang said that he did not instruct his subordinates to barge in, and his companion did not call them either. When some deplaning passengers saw his chauffeur and others waiting outside, they told them that Wang was being detained in the airplane. That was when those people barged into the airport.

Beating up a security guard in this way is still not done, I think, even when you are drunk and upset at the way how Shangdong Airline treats you. But it is a good way to treat this kind of rumors, by analyzing what really happened.
