thy Schipol

Roger Greendock seems to have missed the point. Humans make lots of mistakes, what matters is how they handle a given situation. Yes, of course we learn after a terrible event, but why not consider CHIRP, surely this is not just merely a confessional booth, added to which there are lots and lots of incident reports where the final outcome was not catastrophic.
Survival stories are so much more interesting than those that end up with wholesale carnage. From time to time we need to have a reality check and remind ourselves that our environment is real and that it is not a computer grenerated image commanded by a multitude of little buttons and switches.
The book "Robert Piche Hands on Destiny" by Pierre Cayoutte is a good read, it is not so much about the incident as it is about the man. The title says it all.
