Right!
In fact I think we're very lucky that this hasn't happened yet despite several attempts to do so.
Given the expense, I'm sure it'll be introduced within reason. Certainly there's no grounds for installing it on every single domestic-flying 737 in North America, since it's VERY unlikely something like that'd strike here first. Other parts of the world may be a different story. |
I have a picture of an airliner hit with an SA-7 - Let me find it. It just took the engine off, but didn't knock the plane out. He just turned around and landed - it was an MD-80 I believe.
