🧩 MediaFx Opinion (Class‑First Lens)

This tragedy lays bare the failings of capitalist safety systems. Aviation should prioritize public safety over profit. Families, especially those with fewer resources, can't wait weeks for answers. We demand thorough reforms—from robust maintenance protocols to stricter safety regulations and timely support for affected working-class communities: compensation, mental health care, and job security. If lives of migrant workers, students, or hospital staff mattered, they would never face these preventable losses. Solidarity with all victims and family members.
