portmanteau,
Why should safety discussions be so biased by fatalities?
The objective of safety is to minimise the risk of harm - forward looking; the factors in this accident could represent an identical level of risk for a much worse outcome, except ... we were lucky, but being lucky isn't safe. (a strong airframe might be)
Safety discussions might benefit from looking at the overall risk, and separately the contributions from the many individual factors; forward looking, not curing what has passed.

Bloggs, still short sighted, you missed the , and
