Destroying the industry, to not fix a problem, that doesn’t exist.

If there where 4 less pax in the machine that made it down, EG no one in the back row, it’s difficult to imagine a different outcome.

While machines are designed, manufactured, maintained or flown by humans, mistakes will occur. Aviation has a long history of improving safety in response to tragic events.
Hopefully a procedure or other change, can be implemented that makes these types of operations even safer* than they are now.

* We had 11 people drown in the 4 days after Xmas day alone.
