What is the point?
I suspect there isn't any.
Some folks in the IT industry seem to think that their particular expertise is applicable to FBW aircraft types.
I'm a software engineer too (radiology systems), so I apologize if we IT people seem to be out of our depths here.
The point is that, in my job:
- I want to make sure that patients are not harmed in any way by any software fault;
- I want to make sure the system interface is designed so that patients are not harmed in any way by any inappropriate use of the system.
Thus, unfortunately, FBW airplane accidents are indeed interesting to me, the same as any other accident or incident involving computers and softwares, because there may be lessons to be drawn regarding software safety and usability.
