V2500 engines

The fact remains that the V2500 engines have experienced 32 events of unlatched cowlings falling off of which 80% during take off, this means 32 cases of multiple failures by engineers and pilots, I am therefore not inclined to blame both on this occasion, in my opinion the design must be improved and cockpit warning sensors added to this engine or it will happen again. The pilots could have died too so negligence in my opinion would be an inappropriate excuse to cover Airbus responsibility: misleading, inappropriate design is responsible for these 32 events.
