Time and again I see people becoming agitated and urging people to stop speculating about probable causes of accidents. This is a *forum* - in other words, a medium for debate. Of course people want to talk about accidents and probable causes, because it is human nature to connect with others to try and make sense of it all (hands up who got on the phone after seeing the 767's hit the World Trade Centre...). Is it therefore so wrong for people to get on here and talk about these things?? QED
Just a thought on funding - if the Government isn't lobbied for an increase, then how do we expect funding to increase? It is sad to say, but sometimes the aftermath of an accident is the best time to argue for change in procedures and funding.
