It appears that this operation crossed this line
it is not the outcome that is important;
I'm a surprised to see this type of muddled thinking from you of all people.
Upon what basis does it appear to you that this operation crossed the line if not the outcome? The outcome is at this point in time
all anyone has to work with, unless you know something about this incident that others don't.
Or is it your position that negative outcomes are important (a wheel in the mud) while positive outcomes (passengers delivered safe and sound) are unimportant.
