Aviation industry can introduce new regulation fast. One example would be reinforced cockpit doors. Prompted by events in September 2001, new standards published four months later (January 2002), expected to be completed fifteen months after that (April 2003).

It makes sense for a change about doors. Doors are old as time. Everyone understands how doors work. The impact of a door change is straightforward. There are relatively few moving parts involved in a self contained door (figuratively and literally).

It was a first example that I thought of. There are others, less straightforward changes in recent years. They involve safety teams, risk assessment, terrain awareness system, voluntary reporting programs, hazard recognition. They made commercial flights safer and we can measure it.

Was that the industry, or the government?

Both. My point was, with enough motivation and resources it can be done. I gave an example of such industry in the sense of a sector of an economy.
