- _moof 4y agoThankfully 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.
- ncmncm 4y agoA 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.
