As Evan Cullen stated on Prime Time, an accident is the last indication of a problem, not the first.
To the IAA/MOL, it appears that the regard an accident as being indeed the first indication.
Luck, or whatever it was, has very much prevented smoking holes in the last year. Try this one for size:

Then there was BVS, CIA, NOC... How many events do you need before having a closer look?
Remember, prevention is better than cure. Would you wait til you had a terminal disease before consulting the doctor?
Finally, remember, this is the airline that "forgot" to hand over its report on an incident (CIA) to the relevant authorities.
