Thanks for the proper perspective. Terrible for the person who was killed and the family, but also important to know that flying is many degrees safer than getting in your car and making a trip to the store.

It will be enlightening to see the cause of death. (I haven’t seen one yet.) Might have been an oxygen issue — the masks were definitely necessary there with the window blown out.

Wow, what a record. And only one person, too. Just astonishing how good modern engineering, materials, training, aircrew talent, etc is.
