The general public is already removing this crash from their memory. They were told, really, "Nothing to see here."Was this so that the public would fly over the holidays, though? Support the airline industry, etc.?
I spoke to my cousin today who told me that her sister flew up to NY from Florida on Friday. She was going to drive, but since it was "established" that the crash of FLT. 587 was due to an accident, she decided to fly after all.
Some people believe everything our gubmint tells us.
