Watching the news today I noticed several reports on the Southwest Airlines 737 roof splitting followed by an immediate loss of cabin pressure. The FAA investigates the roof splitting and points to a lap joint at the top of the aircraft center. A lot of foot dragging concerns, this is a new problem and has not been a reported in past 737 model.
We haven't quite reached 2big2fly yet but, getting closer. We should stop subsidizing the Airlines. Throwing our tax money away for Homeland Stupidity and TSA to insure low air fares for the small portion of population who fly. Supporting Air travel the same way we build giant tax supported Stadiums for the NFL Owners. It's waste fraud and abuse to those who don't fly.
I remembered a similar accident where the entire roof blew off of a Flight 243 in Hawaii. I wasn't sure if the plane was a Boeing 737. The result of a quick Internet search proved the plane was a 737 owned and operated by Aloha Airlines 1988. The only fatality on flight 243 was CB Lansing. CB was a Flight Attendant who was blown out of the air frame at 24,000 ft.
Perhaps the FAA records don't go back to 1988 or their to busy downloading porn with SEC and MMS. We should now include the Airlines in the Oligopoly Corruption in America with the Bankers, Auto Czars, Drug Makers and Insurance Extortion.
