The incident has raised questions about security lapses across multiple countries, as the captain, Smit Machchhar, was hailed as a hero for thwarting the attack.

All 11 outlets and the headlines they were read from

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
