This is not terrorism. This is a 777 that sprung a leak for whatever reason it did; ie: poor maintenance, etc.
How are people going to have confidence once they board the jet they will be disembarking at their destination versus the family being notified of their demise.
This is ridiculous. Boeing and Airbus need to face the fact, their jets are falling out of the sky and killing people. That means their methods of business need to change. They need to provide programs that insures the good faith of their jets to the promise of a consumer they are safe.
The "FOLLOWING" program has to be part of the sale of the jet. This is consumer confidence at a time when jets are continually a source of deaths rather than success.
The program has to be progressive being sure all the modern tracking and maintenance programs are intact and followed. The program has to publish a monthly or bi-monthly success to governments to institute laws to provide consumer confidence. That same publication should be a part of the information a consumer receives with their booking for travel. Their safety comes first and not "Oops." Different languages of the publication needs to be a consideration.
Jets are considered sophisticated travel. It is time they actually are.

Lee Bee Yee, 43, a passenger, told the Straits Times that she detected something that smelled like gasoline two or three hours into the flight.
"We were informed by the pilot that there was a leak, and that the plane would have to return to Changi Airport as it did not have enough fuel for the journey," she said. She said the aircraft landed to cheers from passengers, before the right wing caught fire....
