Anyway, my reply was to note that the report on CNN and the one on local radio stations (the one I was listening to anyway) are pretty different. On CNN they say she describes it as a very scary experience and that she knew what was going on. On the radio I heard an interview with her where she said that she hardly realised anything was amiss and she kept reading a security briefing about the upcoming Gallipoli services.

NZ's Helen Clark in mid-air scare
Sorry nothing on the radio stuff, you can take my word for that or not as you wish
Nothing special to observe about this, just thought it was interesting.
