random passenger had to catch it. That's legit amazing if you think about it

Do you think it’s amazing, or do you think that because of the Alaska Air incident everyone is more aware of their surroundings on an airplane and looking for any missing bolt they can find for the first time in their lives? It’s probably way more common than we think and now every instance will be pointed out, posted, freaked out about, sensationalized for $, flights cancelled to avoid panic and angry customers, and then it will all die down when the next outrage news cycle distracts the masses from the issue du jour
