Few Cloudy and YYZbuff,
Exactly right. Humans are involved and humans make mistakes, sometimes involuntarily, sometimes as a result of external circumstances or forces. The worst of it is, immediately the lawyers pounce and try to prove these same humans were negligent, or incompetent, or reckless or somehow deliberately endangered the lives of other people. Now we have the lawsuit against Air France, the GTAA, NavCanada and God knows who else. There should be some law or mechanism to short-circuit these proceedings from the get-go or laugh the lawyers out of court on the first day of the hearing.
