History has proven Boeing (and others) makes mistakes like bad design. ........
So why should we believe that "This time they've got it right!" ?
And life on this thread has taught me to add: The above is not directly related to this accident, but as a comment to those who flame laymen for insinuate aircraft manufactures may make a mistake or two...
Yes your facts are right. However the critique of the laymen in this thread is that they know what and where the mistake was made.
I have learned that everything that man has made will break. Thus as a system safety specialist one adds mitigating factors to the analysis of how often (it malfunctions) and how.
Yes in this accident something has gone wrong in these assumptions. Without more data I don't know what to fix yet.
I sense that the great majority of experience on this board is on the same page. So I tend to gloss over shoot from the hip comments about "bad design"
