I just think it's important to keep in mind that it's so rare and that's a good sign. It's still very safe. And so even though we're thinking about it more than we maybe have in, you know, 10 or 15 years, it's important to remember that it's still the safest way to get around.

And even if President Trump had really put a focus on changing things at any of these possible avenues for cause of this disaster, it wouldn't happen overnight. And so it's really unlikely that there is any political angle to this.
