About Annie Jacobsen
Annie Jacobsen's series of articles, "Terror in the Skies," stemmed from her terrifying trip aboard Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles. The articles, which exposed the vulnerability of our airlines to terrorist activity and the lack of safety measures therein, earned significant national media attention, sparking a heated debate with regard to airline safety and whether the people charged with protecting us in the skies are doing all they should. Although subjected to numerous personal attacks, Annie stayed the course, and ultimately affected change in airline safety rules and procedures. A full investigation of the incident by the House Judiciary Committee, which oversees the FBI, is currently under way.
