    It makes for a good case study looking forward, which hopefully will save lives from people attempting the same thing. Additionally, you already know folks in the aviation world wrote the pilot checklists in blood. It’s an unfortunate fact that souls have to be lost before a regulation or rule gets put into place to prevent it from happening in that exact way again, but this is part of why flying is so safe these days!

      You don’t even have to go back very far. Look at the 737 Max. Boeing fudged the training requirements and allowed purchasers to cheap out on the safety gear and killed 346 people.

      A friend of mine, who’s much more knowledgeable in these regulatory issues, filled me in somewhat. I guess, to make it work, it will require a high level of international cooperation. Frustrating because I’ve been in meetings with CEOs like that, but I’ve had the delegated authority to enforce proper design practices. All anyone could do with him was plead with him to see reason before he gets someone killed.
