Tragically, as we see in so many walks of life, man does not learn from the previous generation. The landmark explanation is still: The Tombstone Imperative: The Truth about Air Safety by Andrew Weir

Whenever there is a failure causing death - the Ponte Marandi bridge in Genoa (2018) the London Kings Cross Tube fire (1987) and the Shuttle Challenger disaster (1986) - even the VW Dieselgate scandal (2015) which did not directly cost lives - there always turns out to be:
  1. Someone saving money and/ot time to please the big boss.
  2. Someone has pointed out the risk months (or years) in advance and was ignored.
It is the human condition because, until people die - very little changes. Sometimes, not even then.
