Yeah, it's unquestionable- they happen. It has happened just today.

But they should -NOT- happen. Much less if the engine going poof has just passed a revision because the pilot reported problems with it. I don't care about why the plane crashed after the engine bursted in flames, it may have been a pilot error or not, but that engine should've worked fine, or the plane not flown at all.

So, someone blewed up bigtime today. And it was not the pilot. Death count is 151 right now, and likely to increase in next hours...

In my own view of the world, that means someone should pay a serious price for his mistake. "these things happen" it's not an excuse, not even an explanation. As I said, this kind of things should -NEVER- happen. And if they do, whoever made it possible should pay for it.
