I remember this very well. I knew the family of two of the passengers. It's still sad to think about....

Excellent writing and research, sir! Great transition between the intro and main story. Unsurprisingly, no insider trading charges either...good ol' capitalism in action.

This episode is amazing. CC has touched on water, land, food, entertainment, construction and now the sky how cost cutting greed never ends well.

Allegiant as the opener is amazing - they are the airline if choice every time the government charters a commercial plane for the military.
Astrid Eglitis
Fantastic, as ever. CC, you are a national treasure! Keep going!
Tracey Hayes
Impeccable research!

I can’t be the only person who is grateful you haven’t covered Boeing yet. We’d hate to lose Concerned Citizen to a mysterious 2-bullet suicide

"Allegiant Air was a tragedy waiting to happen. ValuJet was a tragedy that happened from waiting" Writing like this is why I've been a patron for so long, hot damn

They really fucking tried to pin it on warehouse workers.
