@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org It’s the Swiss cheese model of security. Accidents happen when the holes align perfectly. There are multiple things that, had they been different, would have prevented the accident. GPS is a technical system. The plane must fly without it. GPS failures are not an uncommon occurrence. The possibility of GPS jamming in the area was known ahead of the flight. My personal view is: primarily a pilot error. If they had followed procedures, even with the GPS failure, the plane would have landed safely. Even more critical: they knew their GPS was out and they continued anyway. The GPS jamming was a contributing factor as automated systems would have been able to alert the pilots on their mistake. Relevant analysis: https://youtu.be/9LUnKCOp8WMhttps://youtu.be/Dcyup4xVQuM I can only recommend the channel of Blancolirio. Of all the channels analyzing air accidents it is by far the best and least sensationalist. And he clearly points out systemic problems.
