Accident Investigation and Mass Disasters
Accident Investigation and Mass Disasters is a field of study that focuses on understanding, analyzing and learning from the causes of aviation and other transportation incidents, natural disasters and large-scale accidents, with the goal of preventing future catastrophes. By utilizing a combination of technologies, accident reconstruction and metallurgy, investigators attempt to determine the sequence of events leading up to an accident or disaster and to identify any systemic weakness or component failure that may have contributed to the incident. The results of investigations are used to improve safety standards, enhance policy and regulation, and to hold those responsible accountable. Accident Investigation and Mass Disasters is an essential component in the safety and wellbeing of the general public.
