Would you be happier if I called it a knee jerk reaction?
The fact of the matter is that 2 is a pretty bad sample size to draw conclusions from and we don't yet have ANY idea what caused this most recent crash. It's easy to say "just ground them" when it's not going to affect you.
Throwing medium sized wrenches into the global transportation network has very real costs and shouldn't be done lightly. People's lives are disrupted, sometimes catastrophically. The lives lost already are a sunk cost. It comes down to a calculation of risk vs the cost (in human terms, in case that wasn't obvious) of the disruption.
Unfortunately it's impossible to have an adult discussion about that kind of thing on the internet.
