Stop and think about this - the only thing that saved 50+ pax & crew was a serendipitous bird strike & a keen eye. What would have happened without the bird strike, subsequent diligent inspection & professionalism of the engineer? If the rumours of the substantial damage are correct, then it would appear a major fatality was inevitable, in time.
Would the investigation have conclusively linked the the previous turbulence incident & the systemic failures (company maintenance & regulatory oversight) or seek to apportion blame to someone else who couldn't speak for themselves?
If we are now down to lady Fortuna for safety inspections, have we descended to the inverse Reason Model, where the holes are the defences?
This appears to be a very interesting snapshot of a grand failure in progress, captured at the point where the regulators can't wriggle out of their own failures of oversight & are caught in the cover-up. No doubt the spin will be: "this was a one-off, see the system worked, nothing bad happened". We all know differently.
