Hope you don't mind a post from outside the fence. At the airline I worked at there was an accident which severely injured one of the captains, (a well known and popular bloke). On the flight safety mag a while after, but still whilst 'fresh' there was a cartoon IIRC depicting a similar accident.

There were many comments similar to those expressed here. It was an event that could have happened on almost any flight. The comments that came in were fielded with the argument that by using the example, and the event that everyone knew of, that they were highlighting the hazard and it ensured that it was being discussed to the benefit of all crew and ground handlers, and would help to prevent a similar occurance.
