I think most car accidents are caused when people aren’t paying enough attention - a single person doesn’t do what they’re supposed to do.

What I meant is: this on its own rarely ever leads to an accident. Most accidents are not cars flying off the road hitting a tree on their own. Most accidents involve multiple vehicles. And at that point it is the majority of accidents where the other affected drivers did not anticipate the mistake of the one causing the accident, and did not do anything to correct for said mistake.

With regards to Boeing, sadly you are very much correct:

If they got away with it then there’s no reason they won’t continue to

That’s actually my main problem with this. Legislation is built to protect corporations, not individuals. When there’s a conflict of interests, corporations take precedence in 9 cases out of 10.

I am not saying all airliners look to cut corners criminally, but they often demonstrate criminal energy or are criminally negligent. This is a bigger problem in the US than in Europe, I feel - our corporate greed is closely following in the US corporation footsteps, though. Our CEOs et al wish they could pull off what the US american ones can already get away with.
