headline difficulties

The BBC's coverage of the British Airways staff strike is causing more than a few odd juxtapositions. This morning, the top story was "Cypriot plane crashes killing 121", while off to the side was "Thousands still stuck at Heathrow" (referring, obviously, to the strike rather than the Cypriot crash). Just now in the RSS feed I read, "thousands expected a VJ-day ceremonies" immediately followed by the same "thousands stuck at Heathrow" headline.
