Not 20/20 hindsight but foresight.
As I've said for a departing aircraft from Heathrow with a major problem Brize has to be a logical alternate. It has all the safety infrastructure in place and presents no risk if the aircraft has to crash over open countryside.
Given the reliability of modern aircraft I wonder if any crew ever play the game of where would we go if it all goes wrong?
In this case too casual to do a proper preflight.
How hard is it to kneel down on one knee and count all seven latches?
