Agree totally, nobody goes to work thinking, lets see if we can transform this ship into a pile of smoking debris.
A mistake is just that, a mistake. Living with the consequences of an oversight is probably punishment enough in a just society.
Will punishment bring the dead back ? . . . . obviously not, will it make the victims families feel any better ?I seriously doubt it. Most importantly, will it add yet more incentive to cover up future errors to avoid punitive measures? undoubtedly. As the other thread on justice vs safety discusses, these witch hunts serve only to keep solicitors and judges in employment. They have absolutely NO positive contribution to make to future air safety, and contribute nothing to the future welfare of any victim or family thereof.
Scandalous, simply scandalous short sighted eye for an eye knee jerk reaction ,which to me proves whether a nation should count itself as civilised or not, so that, I imagine, leaves a very short list that are.
