True. However, in a Just Culture, one would hope that all factors would be taken into account before taking any action against someone who may just be the unlucky person with all the holes in the cheese lining up. A lot depends on the NTSB findings and recommendations.

It’s easy to say that you should never hit anything on the ground, but guess what, aeroplanes keep doing it all over the place and it is not always because they’re being driven by inattentive cowboys. Maybe this accident, along with others, might lead to a review of signage/markings/charts making it easier for everyone else to operate more safely? One can only hope...
