Hi,
The dumb shall rule the Earth"... or maybe they already do... ?
Much like a car mechanic totally botching a brake repair, leading to a multiple pile-up on a motorway killing several people?
Methink it's not exactly the same.
One side .. we have a judge telling (verdict) that the mechanic as to be aware
(before the 25 July 2000) that a tyre blow
can have catastrophic consequences.
On the other side we have the BEA
(after the 25 July 2000) telling that a tyre blow
can have catastrophic consequences and so ask the Concorde be grounded until technical services find a remedy for have (again?) a safe plane regarding consequences of blow tyre (s)
How one can ask to the mechanic to be aware of a thing the BEA and AAIB were not aware despite the many accidents involving blow tyres who occured during the commercial service of the Concorde.
Methink the BEA and AAIB had better insights than the mechanic for see a possible catastrophe unfolding.
He got off with a suspended sentence.
The BEA and AAIB got off without sentence
Off course we can argue on this for years
We have now to rest and wait what will be the verdict of the appeal ...
