Yes, there was problem with sensors. Yes, airlines and manufacturers were doing something to solve it but they were not in a great hurry, after all, there were 32 crews that coped with the problem successfully
.
That is depressingly similar to the statistics and response to the known O ring issue on the Space Shuttle solid boosters.

A back up safety system that has prevented disaster 30 times does not prove that the systme is safe.

Personally a 3% chance of buying the farm if a known fault occurrs is a disturbing thought.
