It’s a natural concern to have given recent events but realistically your chances of injury flying are astronomically small. I also think that Southwest is a responsible company and their aircraft will probably be safer than ever now.

I did hear about the engine system design that is built to specifically avoiding hitting a list preferred customers when they blow up.

In all seriousness, did anyone find out which row she was sitting in?

As much as I am not a fan of southwest, it was the airplane and the NTSB is investigating. The crew did an amazing job at landing the plane as it could have been much worse. The chances of happening again are very small

Low probability of rare events happening in the same space unless it is systematic. Don't take the window seat.

I dont really like "safer than driving" argument; you have some control over the probability car accident (defensive driving, no texting, driving schools, etc) so if you are a responsible and trained driver, you will less likely to have a fatal accident. However, this engine explosion, that we have no control at all, might represent systematic issue in maintenance and preflight checkup process of SWA. How the hell an engine that was checked up a few hours ago explode in the air in 2018? Yes, if there was any externality, I would be more relieved but if it was due to internal issue that was not found their regular and preflight checkup, I wouldnt be happy about that. I think I will just keep flying united for my DrDao jackpot odds.
