DENVER — An engine cover on a Boeing 737 operated by Southwest Airlines ripped open just after taking off from Denver International Airport Sunday morning.

The Houston-bound Southwest flight took off from DIA around 7:45 a.m., and returned to the airport 30 minutes later, landing safely. No injuries were reported.

    If you swim in a swimming pool with a shark, you are not statistically unlikely to be killed by one.

    This is a really terrible analogy, for a really terrible way of thinking about risk.

    Assuming you have a point here, then based on the logic you seem to be trying to to use, you should also never drive a car, go outside, eat a sandwich, etc. You know, since there was a point when people doing those things died, and those people thought they’d be ok too.

      I think it’s clear that you’re never going to get my point. Maybe you could apply for a management job at Boeing?

        Pretty sure I got your point, it’s just terrible.
