After an accident happens the investigators use some models
to understand how it is developed and which are its root
causes. Most of the interpretations depend upon the paradigm
used.Untilnowdifferentparadigmsledtodifferentinterpretations
and different countermeasures. The Germanwings case, where
a pilot intentionally crashed an airplane full of passengers, is a
challenge for the safety scholars. Is this event a black swan or is
it a symptom of a broader phenomenon affecting flight safety?
This paper address the topic, analysing the evolution of the
threats to safety, the countermeasures adopted along the years
and the methodological approach needed to cope with these
new kinds of accidents.
