I was on a flight and after a rough turbulent half hour after take off, the English captain announced a technical issue that meant we must return to the airport.
The plane had been acting bizarrely it bounced very hard on take off and then did not gain much altitude for the duration.
There was another rough half an hour back to land in a terrible cross wind.
Then a few moments on the tarmac before it was announced that it was because additional checks were required and the plane was running entirely fine. A bird strike meant they had to return as a precaution.
I'd take the clear and transparent understatement over what I can only assume is a corporate line which covers things from entirely not worth mentioning and we're about to crash and burn.
