I'm an aerospace engineer, this is my field. It makes no sense to call for heads to roll without even knowing the root cause. If this happens again on a different airframe, I'll change my tune in a hurry.

Well, this is my field so let's calm down for a sec and dispense with the hyperbole. The plane itself is not "fucked"; my understanding is the aircraft landed safely and nobody was injured. The door/window that departe

No idea. Silently failing and continuation is a complete anti-feature if you want correct results in your data pipeline though. I get it, you like R. I'm not interested in litigating this any further.

The law isn't code. It's not imperative procedure where you can just say the magic words and trigger an exception to be thrown. We have humans to apply the law and use their judgment for exactly this reason.
