Thankfully there are exceptions to this, notably aviation. Having all accidents investigated by an independent board with a systems approach has proven to be an extremely successful model. It's a shame it isn't replicated elsewhere.


A disgrace. It's not like it is any easier in aviation than anywhere else.

Civilian oversight of police departments could be instituted, too, investigating killings and maimings by police. It could be federally supervised, instead of relying on every state, county, and Podunk town to institute it.


In aviation, a pilot who would ignore so many warning elements of UI (red button, dialog, retyping things) on "autopilot" would have their license revoked and possibly criminal charges pressed.
