Why this matters
Pilots, controllers and mechanics have filed confidential, de-identified safety reports with NASA since 1976, in their own words: near-misses, fatigue, automation confusion. The narratives are searchable but buried behind a dated interface. One of the richest first-person records of how complex systems almost fail.
