The confidence of the flying public always is a background factor, at least, in how safety incidents are handled. In this time of repressed demand for air travel, and aftermath of debacles with Boeing MAX (and other bad news about another type), perception of the traveling public can be interesting thing to watch, to an SLF/atty anyway.

So reading a good solid reporting piece in the Wall Street Journal today, by-line of Alison Sider, with headline, "Probes of Faulty Jet Engine Intensify" yields some confidence that despite other sources of less reliable repute, there is some good reporting out there. Article covers relation of past incidents to the current one, as well as good laypeople's explanation of some of the operational or design characteristics involved.
