ACCIDENTS of all sorts frequently occur in the country. Accidents or failures should be a learning opportunity. This is done by investigating or finding the reasons for failure, which is also called root cause failure analysis.
Root cause failure analysis is a part of an investigation of accidents/failures of aircraft, trains, or any engineering system. On the one hand, it helps to improve the working of a system, while, on the other, it promotes a culture of accountability.
Although every accident at the national level needs to be investigated, major air crashes and train accidents need more attention, because the performance of our national organisations, such as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Pakistan Railways, cannot be compromised.
