Business as usual, regrettably this is.
“Human factor”, however, is a risk, just too well known. Accordingly not primarily staff shall be the accused!
Responsible, to be targeted are, those better knowingly, with open eyes, accepting and “optimally” managing current “state of the art”.
(For a passenger, a derailed waggon is an accident, when suddenly, unprepared met with.
Regardless if “predicted” for “attending” maintenance…, for Authority “accident” should not be the relevant word…)
