BBF is exactly correct, and his points suffer no loss of importance because other accidents turned out differently.

Trench warfare. Call a truce.

The commonality seen in recent accidents irrespective of type, Line, or Pilotage is how simple and horrible they appear in retrospect.

The part still that gets my goat is the apparent nonchalance of those doing the retrospecting. And the investigating, and the "improving".

None of these were "flukey". Bizarre confluence of highly improbable vectors? No, not at all. Straightforward lapses in Maintenance, engineering, training, rostering, and COMPLACENCY.

So one is left with hope alone. Not even Trust. Why Trust? Trust whom?

The tooth Fairy?
