From the stories I’ve heard from someone who worked as a flight attendant for 16 years in the 70s/80s, engines blowing out was and still is just a thing that happens sometimes. The big planes have multiple engines, so it’s not usually a big deal (losing one engine won’t cause a crash on its own). I do think this is mostly a case where the media jumps on the trending train, but Boeing should also get their shit together before they become responsible for preventable deaths.
