radiosutch, #49, cabin breakup; there appears to some association, but this must not be used to assume 'cause'. Humans tend to find patterns everywhere we look.
However, this concern is worth pursuing because aircraft breakup and possibility of fire on the ground are high risk situations.
Similar thoughts arise from perceptions of the 737's likelihood of an overrun; see previous Pprune thread.

The high levels of safety in the industry reduce opportunity for large data bases for conventional analysis, thus perceptions become increasingly relevant.

Also, in this media rich world, public perception could be an influencing factor - see other threads re 'I wouldn't fly that aircraft'.

For the professionals, the better action is to consider the validated information about the contributing factors in this accident, learn from them, and apply lessons learnt in future operations.
Fuselages don't breakup if the aircraft stops on the runway after a normal landing.
