I wonder if I know your dad, as I was in the USAF and at AA for a few years, too. That would be funny, it’s a small world in aviation. 
That might be something I’m interested in, though after 37 years of hearing the gory details of aviation accidents once or twice a year in training, I don’t usually linger on that stuff unless it’s someone I know or an airplane I’ve flown. I either get annoyed because the ignorant jump on ridiculous conclusions (like DEI caused the airplane crash) or depressed when people die. Fortunately commercial flying has been extremely safe over the last couple of decades.
