Thanks Scott;

That is exactly what I meant. The prelim is also talking about the possibility of something being spotted during preflight.

I grew up in the era of steel brakes transitioning to carbon brakes. Meant every landing/takeoff meant looking in brake channels for carbon pieces and broken safety wire.

In the cabin, the VERY minimum responsibility on the F/A's part would have been to pass along the SLF's report of the takeoff fire and sparks. Let the cockpit crew decide if it was important, no matter how trivial it seemed to the F/A.

The videotape starts with the pax filming the F/A telling the pax that he would be arrested if he continued scaring the pax with his story of flames and sparks.

I'll bet she now allows the cutomers to decide if they'd like fries with that burger.
