DREAMS.

BOAC, you are right that my dreams are maybe too ambitious, but it seems to me to be an ideal opportunity to expose the structural failings in our industry and use this horrible incident/ accident as a stick with which to beat the perpetrators, wake up the public and the "regulators" and try to get a fundamental shift in the attitude and practices of those responsible?

If it's not engine cowlings next week, month or year, it will be something else traceable to the modern practices which will cause another disaster. Fine by all means address THIS failure with a metal-bending and cutting fix, but the fundamental rot goes deeper and wider.

Keep reading the CHIRPs as they arrive and then marvel it's taken this long to happen?
