"Some in the media, creating a ‘beat up’ to sell papers, trivialised the dangerous forced landing of the Southern Cross, which they dubbed the "Coffee Royal" incident after coffee the fliers allegedly drank (media hacks were not present) while waiting for rescue; and was fair game to be trivialized as a publicity stunt, and blamed Kingsford Smith for the two deaths. He was traumatised by their loss.[40][41]"

n ot sure how it shanged regulations though?

That's good enough. The coffee was all they had in the way of supplies - that and the fact that both the Southern Cross and the Kookaburra (the search plane which crash landed too, resulting in two deaths) were ill-equipped to undertake such a venture, saw the introduction of regulations about what supplies and equipment had to be carried on board future flights.

Over to you.
