One of the problems in aviation, IMO, is that we delve so massively and completely into significant accidents, ie. fatal accidents or even spectacular accidents without fatalities (Hudson River miracle), but as a rule, the industry seems to gloss over the incidents that occur that easily could have been horrific accidents but for the thinnest of margins.
Don't confuse the industry with the media. The NTSB will investigate this very thoroughly, in full awareness of what might have happened if the circs had been slightly different. It just won't make headlines because there's no 'fireball' or 'teriffied passengers' angle.
