> Reporting culture won't help you when your Boeing 737 MAX 8 has just started an uncommanded nosedive! Yet, it took until the second MCAS caused crash for the 737 MAX 8 to get grounded. Discounting the role of good incident reporting and investigation based on that example seems silly. > how could a poor reporting culture alone cause twenty times more accidents? If you assume that the majority of accidents are caused unrecognized design or process defects, then near miss reporting and investigation can allow these defects to be identfied before they cause an accident. The plausibility of a 95% reduction depends a great deal on how poor the safety record was going into that change.
