Eye opening case study. This case teaches us the importance & need of inspection of aircraft various systems at regular interval. the thing which is seen OK from outside may be very unsafe from inside. Safety expert Trevor Kletz (UK) mentions -Greed of the management to keep the aircraft for maximum time has caused many air crashes.
One of things that astounds me is that passengers saw cracks in the fuselage skin while boarding, but said nothing about it.
I am so sorry to hear CB was on that airplane. Many prayers to her family and friends. What a tragedy!
