As with any aviation accident, there are three principles to keep in mind:
1. People are grieving – families who have lost loved ones or those recovering from injuries, cabin crew and pilots who experienced the harrowing chaos, controllers who felt helpless to prevent the outcome, airport emergency workers stressed from the rescue and firefighting efforts, employees of the OEM, and many others involved, even peripherally, and affected mentally.
2. In the immediate aftermath of the accident, let us not rush to judgement and seek to lay blame on individuals or the aviation system. Let the JTSB and other investigators do their painstaking work of reconstruction, analysing the evidence, and reaching their consensus conclusions.
3. Use the event for the lessons learned. Compare with other recent and historical aviation accidents and incidents to continue improving the system and technologies which will enhance safety.
