Confirmed: Air India 171’s Failure Explained

As reported yesterday. But …

The aviation community and media in India are fiercely rejecting this narrative and trying to blame Boeing software or hardware for the tragedy, rather than a psychological malfunction on the part of one of their own.

My own perspective is that it doesn’t matter either way.

That instead, either way, the fault is on the inherent stresses within ‘our’ modern way of life, including but not limited to the profit motive.

That either way, finger-pointing and being right and knowing what the Truth and the Lie are is all just dancing with the deck chairs on Titanic.

I am strongly inclined to distance myself from both the fact-finding, and the guesswork and theories about motivations and fault.

And to stop going to airports, renting cars, booking motels, and driving on interstates, and put my energies into simpler alternative strategies for traveling, and for ways of living right here at home.
