As I told my friends, this preliminary report annoys me. It annoys me for the same reason it seemingly annoys the NTSB: American 191 is nearly identical on the surface, right down to the engine detachment and resultant loss of the aircraft, in almost the exact same spot on the airframe, ~45 years later.

Needless to say they’re going to be scrutinizing everything to determine what the cause is and the sequence of events that created the accident, but I also suspect everyone involved is just as annoyed at this as I am, given that this exact situation should have been fixed already.
