@ByERussell The fact that all aboard the Japan Airlines Airbus A350 operating #JL516 survived “strikingly illustrates the sum total of all the factors that together prevented this accident from becoming a far greater tragedy,” writes @jonostrower.
@dominicgates Boeing asked the FAA to exempt its 737 MAX 7 from safety regulations that would apply to an engine anti-ice system defect with potentially catastrophic consequences. Without the exemption, the jet cannot be certified.
@jonostrower It’s hard to overstate how important of a moment this is in modern aircraft design. Almost 400 people aboard that A350 and all got out safely after sustaining heavy damage. A lot of analyses and small scale tests on carbon fiber just got a massive trove of new data.
@jonostrower Modern commercial aircraft are designed to be phenomenally survivable. Whether it’s an A350, 787, A380 or 777 — all incorporate innumerable lessons garnered over the years from previous accidents, strong regulations and deliberate over-engineering.
