I look at the positives that almost the vast majority got out ok and the work of the pilot and crew are to be commended
Also think about the incredible grief the family and her loved ones must be facing.forever
Also have to wonder about Southwest and all Domestic airlines and the degree of safety measures when it comes to proper maintenance of all aircraft and engines
Some airlines have outsourced maintenance
The ball doesn't begin or end with Southwest Airlines.In a profit obsessed industry with get the planes in and out as rapidly as they can
Has safety taken a back seat at every airline to some degree?
And is it just a matter of when the next fatality or fatalities occur?
Added to that how few passengers listen during safety briefings (almost never) or have any idea what to do in event of an emergency?
It frightens me to think how much worse things could have been on that flight or any flight for that matter
