To be fair, that incident is extremely isolated. This team repairs on the order of 100 airplanes a year. They had one major failure in the past 50 years? I am certainly not excusing that nor the loss of lives, however I can not think of any other team working on non-trivial problems, where each problem is unique, that has a lower failure rate.

- dotancohen 3y agoThe incident was citied in the fine article. And it is a well-known incident - other than Tenerif and the 9/11 incidents I can not offhand think of any other incidents with as many fatalities. The Airplane On Ground team (I'm pretty sure that's what AOG stands for, maybe it's Airliner on Ground) is more-or-less well-known in aviation communities.
