That doesn't make sense.

If your arsenal had several ways to do damage, use of one doesn't mean the others are out of the picture. If you can poison, shoot, cut brake lines, bomb, burn-out, acid attack, hit man, etc., the fact that you used poison doesn't mean the hit man is out of business.

Good point.

The NTSB is somewhat blowing if off as ..“We’re pushing the engines to produce as much power as possible,” he said. “We’re right on the edge. Sometimes they fail, and that’s why the containment ring is there.”

The engine failure was reminiscent of a similar event on a Southwest Boeing 737-700 in August 2016 as it flew from New Orleans to Orlando. Shrapnel from the engine left a 5in-by-16in hole just above the wing. Passenger oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling. Pilots landed the plane safely in Pensacola, Florida.
