[SystemSafety] Comparison of Confidential vs Non-Confidential Reporting Systems

F-10_crash

Quote:

Although the accident is best known for causing the death of Rockne, it
also led to major changes in American aviation that radically transformed
airline safety worldwide. Other comparable crashes had occurred before,
but this one, which killed a popular national hero, brought a national
outcry for getting "answers to the mystery" as the public demanded
solutions that might prevent such disasters in the future.

I¹m thinking historical reasons, from a Lindbergh biography by A. Scott
Berg I read years ago.
Aviation in the US was funded by the government for air mail. To save
money Inexperienced army pilots
were recruited and started dying from accidents in high numbers.
Lindbergh, promoting flight safety called
out president FDR¹s actions as the cause for their deaths. Safety
regulations then came into force,
but by making FDR angry, Lindbergh (an ex-Army pilot and also an America
First-er) was prevented
from re-enlisting as an officer during WWII.
