As aviation personnel we are trained extensively to operate in a proactive fashion towards flight safety and become very practised in the art of what is percieved as "the norm" and spend our whole lives avioding anything that could possibly take us out of this norm, this is healthy as it keeps us out of trouble. As a result we tend to have very little understanding about the aftermath or what actually happens when it does go pear shaped and don't have the skills to deal with such events and often fall into denial and redicule of those unfortunate enough to be involved which is a shame as there may be lessons lost with such events that could possibly only be a moment away from reality to ourselves or our colleagues.
