Gamma gotcha

If this badly designed Airbus is flying close enough to the explosion to have all it's electronics wiped out, then the dose of gamma radiation will mean that the occupants have days, or if they are really unlucky, perhaps weeks to live.
So just what is the point of this discussion? If I fly the rest of my life in an NBC suit, I will not even begin to feel happier than I do now when I strap my Airbus to my backside and go to do battle with the elements.
Valid or not, my opinion is that the question is a bogus waste of everyone's time and a cheap dig at Airbus, once again. Massive design flaw!!! Phhhaahhh
