The system is supposed to prevent people from dying, 346 people died, the system is broken, it is a fact. Of course we work backward from there.

Even if the conclusion is that it is "acceptable business practice", it doesn't make the system less broken. Just as making a bug "won't fix" doesn't make the bug disappear.

But this is all political bickering, I don't think republicans are proud when American planes crash and kill their passengers, some of them US citizens. But because the report is written by democrats, and I suspect it is a little about safety and a lot about attacking the republican government, somehow, republicans feel the need to fight back instead of trying to find solutions.

I hope there are real engineers trying to actually solve the problem behind the scenes.
