Caramba
....there have been many comments dismissing CI as a possible cause of the tragedy. My point is that it warrants proper investigation, not least because it might provide an explanation for previous apparently inexplicable accidents that have claimed the lives of highly experienced and capable aviators.
Caramba’s point surely goes to the heart of accident investigation, the purpose of which is to prevent similar accidents happening in the future. It became clear during the trial that research into CI was in short supply.
I’m sure we can all think of examples of those ‘inexplicable accidents’ - and in many of those cases the pilot died. I suspect that the research that was done on CI for the Old Bailey trial might never have been done had AH died.
So, now that the subject has been well and truly raised, should we not be taking advantage and investing in further research that might explain some things that were previously inexplicable?
