One great disappointment will be: why didn't the flying community bother to explain to the public how much effort goes into securing safety, from the design of the rivets through production through training through operations.
Because the public is easily bored unless something spectacularly breaks or a real disaster is narrowly avoided.

we've got to wait for a near disaster before even attempting to get that message across and even then the gloom and doom attention getters among us will win everytime.

It sems that the only PR guys among us are obvious stooges in the direct employ of big business.

I'm sure that a few contractual PR guys out there know the score.
