I will never consider someone foolish for making an effort to protect lives until more information presents itself. I fail to understand why the test should be to prove they are unsafe rather than proving that they are safe.

Yes, we don't have all the information right now. That doesn't mean we shouldn't proceed with caution, especially when hundreds of lives per incident are part of the decision on how to move forward. Having two aircraft go down like this is monumentally rare, so let's treat it that way.
