This type of research is highly valuable but too rare; this is generally because of how we view Road Accidents at a core level:

- Road Accidents: "A driver caused this, let's determine who, and find them at fault."

- With Air Accidents: "The system caused this, let's determine which elements came together that ultimately lead to this event."

The first is essentially simplifying a complex series of events into something black and white. Easy to digest. We'll then keep doing it over and over again because we never changed the circumstances.

The second approach is holistic, for example even if the pilot made a mistake, why did they make a mistake, and what can we do to prevent that mistake (e.g. training, culture, etc)? But maybe other elements also played a part like mechanical, software, airport lightning, communications, etc.

I bet everyone reading this knows of a road near them that is an accident hotspot and I bet they can explain WHY it is. I certainly do/can, and I see cops with crashed cars there on a weekly basis. Zero changes have been made to the conditions.
