Neither, it's just PR speak: the plane landed "safely" in the sense that no one was injured and only some property damage occurred.

No, that's deceptive and projects weakness and insecurity. You can put a turd in a gold box, but it's still a turd.

If a man needs to stretch the language to conceal a trivial event that is publicly known, what else is he hiding? It's weird on many levels, as yakking about the disappointment of a pet/vanity project's stumble on it's ascent to greatness is a great distraction from the substance of Facebook.

what's worse, this is a systemic issue not at all unique to facebook.

it all started when every pizzeria became the best pizza in the city; and just goes off from there.

Saying something landed safely when it actually crashed goes beyond mere puffery.

Calling deception "PR speak" doesn't make it not deception.

So intentional deception.
