What a non-story!
Horrible analogy. I don't know of any proofreading error in history that resulting in killing hundreds of people. Metal shavings inside an engine are hardly analogous to spelling errors. Wiring errors have caused several fires and fatalities in planes over the years.
I. want. my. planes. safe. To do so, I expect an absolutely relentless focus on safety in the design, construction, and maintenance of planes. Anything less results in catastrophe, not spelling errors.
