The engine failing isn't some random, unlucky event. Regular maintenance and inspection should prevent this. Whenever this happens to an airplane it's considered negligence - there's no reason why we shouldn't have the same standards for ships.
- lightedman 3y ago"Regular maintenance and inspection should prevent this." Not always. We have regular maintenance done on our SMT lines by the company that manufactured the machines. Those things still fuck up once or twice a month, very unexpectedly, and almost always in the middle of a high-value operation (IC or LED placement.)

- nashashmi 3y agoIf the engine on airplane fails, it fails immediately before taking off. Destruction is kept to a minimum. Likely no one dies.
- lesuorac 3y agoEngines can fail after take off i.e. [1]. That said, I don't think it's immediately considered negligence when an airlines engine fails. Its premature to call Dali negligence as well; it may very well be but the investigation needs to complete.
