Excerpted....
Six people are dead following a collision that occurred at a World War II air show in Dallas, authorities said Sunday.
Two vintage aircraft collided in mid-air and crashed during the event Wings Over Dallas on Saturday, organizers said. The event featured flying demonstrations of WWII fighter planes at the Dallas Executive Airport.
"Authorities will continue working today on the investigation & identification of the deceased. Please pray for their families and all involved," Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Sunday.
A Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra collided and crashed around 1:20 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Five of the victims were on the B-17, while one victim was on the P-63 when they crashed, National Transportation Safety Board member Michael Graham told reporters during a news conference on Sunday.


My new job (which has the same pay rate as RF staff)
will give me the opportunity to address enhancing safety
when operating vintage machines. The accident yesterday
is a vivid reminder to learn from experience, & treat safety
as a continually improving structure of procedures.

I've much experience with things going wrong, & with
designing systems. I hope to be useful in keeping
people & historical artifacts safe & sound.

Anyone else ever had a role in safety?

It was 34 years ago but the words "air show" and "accident" triggered memories of this:

One thing to learn from that accident is....
Always fly planes in a direction such that failure
heads away from crowds. That "piercing the heart"
maneuver had one plane flying straight towards
the audience. Bad idea.

Another important thing...
Have emergency procedures fully considered
& implemented before each show.

I guess they did implement all those security measures.
When it comes to security, the real trick is not to learn from errors but anticipate them and prevent them from happening in the first place.

I hope so.

Both are equally important IMO.
The former informs the latter.
