      That’s what happens when you leave operating the industrial death machines to the professionals. Its insane how much our society relies on regular people operating 2 ton death machines. Regular people.

        They don’t just leave it to the professionals though: there’s always a lot of interest in any aircraft crash investigation which helps drive the motivation to employ all the professionals that make it safe.
