Now you are doing it.
The 777 has built up a good safety record. The process leading to this failure has only been seen on this flight. Selective emphasis describes this as unique then suggests complacency within the investigation by asking for evidence of uniqueness.
The investigators will obviously look at what was different about this flight. They will also look into all the history - of this aircraft type and of all past accidents - to see whether anything already known about might have contributed here. As the investigation proceeds factual evidence and careful testing will eliminate some possibilities, and may reveal new factors to be considered and eliminated in turn.
This process has to be undertaken by specialists who understand aircraft, who know how accidents happen, and who are as dispassionate as it is possible to be in sometimes harrowing circumstances.
Air travel is as safe as human endeavour can make it - and that is very safe.
And that doesn't sell newspapers.
Maybe I'm being difficult but I don't understand your answer. Maybe you are just reiterating what I said. Maybe not.
I understand the investigation process. I am an engineer myself and although I don't work in Aviation the fundamental process is common to any machine / structural investigation.
Please remember I was replying to a previous post.
All I asked was how is it possible to assume that the causal factors surrounding BA038 are UNIQUE to that aircraft and flight? i.e. No implications to other of the type or operator.
If the cause is unknown anything is possible and this may therefore also affect other aircraft of the same type or operator once the cause is known.
Engines do not just Roll Back; Something caused the event to happen. Most of the tabled possibilities are indeed EXTREMELY unlikely but the very fact they have cause one event means that without change a reoccurrence could happen.
If the cause is already known then that opens up other (also unlikely) possibilities.
