My heart goes out to the F/A's family, friends and work collegues. I hope to understand this dredful accident some finer details come out, eg was an evacuation warranted - who initiated it...etc.
From what the media report says, it could have just been a warning malfunction... therefore an engineering issue. Surely on landing tech crew would have known what the real situation was.
Also sounds a bit picky, I know, but would the crew member not have been 'blown' out by the pressure rather than been sucked out in the absence of any type of vaccum???
Again my sympathy to any AA employees that knew the F/A that may read this. Meanwhile I hope more accurate details come to light.
