Did the pilots land at the wrong airport, like happened to the Southwest plane in Branson earlier this year? I'm not saying these are rational concerns, but these are concerns that some passengers could have and pilots announcing they're going elsewhere would reassure them that a mistake or worse hadn't occured.
