rule #1: DON’T.

Truthfully, I’m floored to read a well-written article about an aviation incident. Most articles like this sensationalize - “IT PLUMMETED 13,000 FEET” and the like. Your objective approach was a breath of fresh air in aviation journalism. The *only* critique I would give (and this is a stretch because it’s somewhat a…
