does the fact that an aircraft engine exploded in mid-air yet landed safely and everyone appears fine give you more or less confidence in the design of the aircraft?
well, obviously the analogy falls apart because there's not shrapnel blasting through stuff in this case -- the engine exploded itself. it is only a weak analogy I am just mainly saying all things are subject to survivor bias!

Sure, but don't we need a larger population to consider to be able to say anything at all? That is, other than that engine failure is possible, but I think we already knew that.

my meme is trying to make the point that the engine actually took a hit, as well as evoke the concept of survivor bias, because it seems true that some events like this could have been much more damaging, perhaps leading to loss of the planes, who's story we partially recover
