I guarantee you that they have numerous continuity plans that probably get activated often, and because they have them, you don’t see any issues. It’s only when something happens far outside of those plans that it becomes visible. It’s confirmation bias.
I don’t think this is confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is putting more weight on information that support preexisting beliefs. If a continuity plan is activated and the passengers are unaware then that is a totally different thing. If the passengers are made aware of a continuity plan being implemented then Negativity Bias or the Von Restorff Effect would be more accurate descriptions, in which negative stimuli or unusual stimuli are more frequently recalled.
You’re right. I meant survivorship bias, where the survivors are the events that are bad enough for them to be visible to the public. Other events that are addressed by a continuity plan are “killed” and therefore aren’t visible.
