Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ka whakaae ahau ko au te tuatahi, i hopu au i tēnei. Mēnā e tika ana te aromatawai o te rekoata reo o te kokopi o ngā wā whakamutunga o Germanwings Flight 9525, he mea ohorere. E kore e taea e ahau te whakaaro ka whakamahia e tētahi hoa paerata tētahi waka rererangi mō tōna matenga me te matenga o ōna pāhihi. Ko taku tūmanako he nui ake te mea i roto i tēnei aitua whakamataku, whakamataku atu i te kaupapa whakamomori noa iho. Ahakoa ko te pūrongo o te manawa noa mai i te kaitautoko i nga wa i mua i te hinganga e tohu ana kaore ia i te kaha, me pehea e mohio ai tetahi? He whakaaro nui rawa, engari i taea rānei e ia te mamae i tētahi pānga o te māharahara, kāore anō kia kitea, i te mamae rānei i tētahi atu mate hinengaro, tērā pea nā te rongoā? E mōhio ana ahau, kāore i te āhua. I te mea he paerata rererangi ahau, ka tangohia e au tēnei kaupapa. He aha? I tinihangatia e tētahi paerata te whakawhirinaki o te iwi. Ki nga atu wehi katoa -- te whakatumatuma, te ngaro o nga waka rererangi, nga raruraru o te waka rererangi -- me pehea taku whakamana i aku kaihihi kia kaua e tāpirihia he mate hauora, hinengaro, aha atu ranei, o te paerata ki te rārangi? I tēnei wā, me whakapono au he mātau ōku kiritaki ki te mōhio ko te kaihauturu o Germanwings he mea rerekē. Ae ra, pērā ki ētahi atu mahi, he raru motuhake o te ahotea e pā ana ki te ahotea o ngā kaiurungi. Engari kei a tātou ngā tikanga hei whakatutuki i aua raruraru. He tino māmā te tikanga kotahi: Kaua e rere. He mea tika ki a tātou anō te whakatau i tō tātou āhei ki te mahi. I te mea, i ia haerenga, me whakapūmau e au taua tūnga i mua i taku hainatanga ā-hiko i te mahere rere. Ahakoa he māmā noa iho, he mate makariri, he mate whakararuraru rānei nā tētahi whakarere kino, ka taea e ngā kaihautū rererangi te kī "kāore" ki te rere. Hei wāhanga o te tukanga kimi kaimahi, ka oti i a mātau tētahi aromatawai hinengaro. I taku kamupene rererangi, ko tētahi wāhanga o te aromātai ko te whakamātautau ā-tuhi e pā ana ki ngā pātai pōhēhē i runga i ngā huarahi rerekē. Ko tētahi atu wāhanga o te whakamātautau ko ngā paerata e whakarongo ana ki tētahi rīpene whakahaere waka rererangi i hangaia i te wā o te manukanuka o te whatitiri...
Les Abend: Me mōhio ngā kaihaerere ko te tūtukitanga o Germanwings he tūtukitanga noa iho; he tukanga ngā kamupene rererangi mō te whakamātautau i te kaha o ngā kaihautū. E ai ki a ia, ko ngā aromatawai hinengaro, ngā whakamātautau hauora, ngā kawa aroturuki ā-tau, ka whakaiti i ngā aitua pēnei.
