Disasters can only be minimized, but not eliminated. If to err is human, machines have their limitations. A minor snag can clog the machine, leading to disastrous results. And then there is nature, which, when furious, can wreak havoc. And when horrific disasters happen, they could be because of one or a combination of more than one of the above-mentioned factors.
The aviation experts have, since June 12, been putting their brains together to pinpoint the cause(s) of the AI-171 flight crash in Ahmedabad that not only took a heavy toll of human life and property but also shook the trust and faith of the general public in the safety of air travel.
