I know this probably belongs in the aircraft forum, but I felt it could really benefit from the wider readership here.
The following was posted in the Facebook "Car Seat Safety" group run by a few c-s.o'ers:

The gist of the post is that a group member has a friend who was on the Southwest flight which had an errant landing this week in NY. The friend had her son with her, under two - but in a car seat. Resultingly, he is fine and Mom is so glad she purchased him a seat!
We hear a lot of, "If the plane goes down, a carseat won't help." However, this is an example of when it DOES help - the non-fatal emergency situation. I thought it might be most helpful for those of us who advocate child seats on planes to have this story in our back pockets.
