A lesson learnt
Aviation is an industry that learns from its mistakes.
Some of these are major catastrophes, others much more minor events. They do however have a golden opportunity to prevent such things happening again.
The recurring theme is that at some point, something will go wrong to somebody, and this affects us all however experienced or book smart.
I'm not a big fan of apportioning blame onto the crew for the sake of finding a head to put on a plate, nor do I find it very sporting 'Nigel' bashing, enjoying seeing BA knocked down a peg with an air of moral superiority.
Safety affects us all, doesn't matter what the paint job is on the fuselage.
Better lighting, and forms of assistance aren't an admission of defeat, it's an acceptance that we're human and any help we can get is good. Many of us have made mistakes, not by some element of unconscientious ineptitude, but by the fact we get distracted, confused and occasionally muddled up.
It could have been much worse, could have just missed the building and was just another close call, but that was circumstance.
A pilot getting blamed and sacked is great for those wanting blood, but it doesn't stop a repeat incident and next time could be the time the building is full and people die.
Moral superiority doesn't count for much then.
