Truth is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or standard. Truth is also sometimes defined in modern contexts as an idea of "truth to self", or authenticity.
Truth is usually held to be opposite to falsehood, which, correspondingly, can also suggest a logical, factual, or ethical meaning.
The concept of truth is discussed and debated in several contexts, including philosophy, art, theology, and science. Most human activities depend upon the concept, where its nature as a concept is assumed rather than being a subject of discussion; these include most of the sciences, law, journalism, and everyday life. Some philosophers view the concept of truth as basic, and unable to be explained in any terms that are more easily understood than the concept of truth itself.
To some, truth is viewed as the correspondence of language or thought to an independent reality, in what is sometimes called the correspondence theory of truth.
Truth is often as seen in the eye of the beholder.
As was said by one far more eloquent than I; "I have never been untruthful to you however, which version of the Truth would you care to hear?"
Have we discovered anything new yet this time around?
Have we changed anything or, more importantly, will anything be changed?
Is it likely a new inquiry will happen?
Is any of the procrastination, expert, unprofessional, inexpert, amateurish, waffling or discussion going to create a new inquiry?
Rather than the continuous and no doubt a 40th anniversary review the most important thing is; Did this accident result in any improvements to aviation safety?
The answers is a resounding yes: the Flight Operations of ANZ was (for want of a better description) totally reviewed.
Flight operation departments around the world found an important need review, update their management of flight planning, computerization with flight deck application. Equally, Licencing Authorities Hhd to have a serious rethink.
Flight crew training improved.
Along with other accidents this one contributed to further research, creation, implementation of terrain warning systems.
These are only a few of the changes emanating from this accident and whilst hull loss, loss of life is always highly tragic and regrettable one of the most important things within the aviation industry is our absolute desire to learn from these working diligently to improve and prevent further incidents/accidents.
instead of an endless unproductive, sometimes vitriolic, self-indulgent mishmash diatribe which changes little or nothing, concentrating upon the future will be a more highly productive contribution to our industry, aviation safety!.
Jeeze; you guys need to get out in the sunshine and get a life! (not looking forward to the 40th anniversary)
