Maybe the fact that the woman is dead[1] will put the tragedy in perspective? [1] https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/southwest-flight-emergency/index.html https:

  Do we know yet who died? I don't see it there.

    My point is that to deconstruct the article on merits of audaciousness is unfairly critical considering a fatality took place.

      There are fatalities on uneventful flights too. It's not a good measure of mechanical stress.

        I don't understand what you mean. The premise of his argument was that newspapers/articles exaggerate events. Nothing seems exaggerated in this case, a person actually died.

          Was the cause of death "violent" depressurization? If a piece of shrapnel flies through the window and impales the person on the other side, you can have a fatality at sea level, no depressurization needed.

      It's terrible that she died. Facts don't change because of a medical outcome and I resent the implication that we should be less critical of factual errors (of which there were none) under any circumstances. I was simply providing more context, which most people here seemed to appreciate.
