We need to do better.

One of the difficulties facing industry & accident investigators in particular, seems to me anyway, is pressure to produce big answers when the root cause of a big tragedy may reveal itself uncomfortably obvious or uncomplicated. As redundant & user friendly all the dreamy tech on new flight decks may be, it can and will fail somebody, somewhere, eventually.
We did a training scenario event like that last year.
