San Francisco's Boeing 777 must be one of the most miraculous accidents in aviation history. Considering several factors like the extremely low altitude and the level of damage that the plane experienced, the deadly accident came out with a 99.3% survival rate. Therefore, it is now credited to the emergency-response crew that did a tremendous job to secure escape paths for victims. However, many questions that shroud this accident have been left unanswered. Was it safe for all three expert pilots on-board to allow a trainee to land in SF airport? Dan Rose, an aviation expert, explains that the water surrounding the airport makes it a challenge to any pilot and that the airport itself is closely watched for any safety mishaps that may occur. Furthermore, it is still a mystery as to why the aircraft was approaching at such low speeds? Was the decision to abort impulsive? Or was there some confusion as to what the 'right' thing to do is that lead to a late response? At the moment it isn't even clear if his last-second decision is the cause of the accident or an explanation for the low casualty rate. I wish they can give us a responsible answer instead of spinning the story into a mere survival story.
