Part 7/9:
Once safely back in the air, the crew resumed their planned route to San Francisco without informing anyone onboard about the close call. Upon landing, the incident was reported only internally, and it went largely unnoticed until months later when aviation enthusiasts stumbled upon the details. Remarkably, the incident did not meet the reporting criteria for the National Transportation Safety Board, sparking concerns over a broader systemic issue in pilot training and airline practices.
