While various factors contributed to the crew's mistake, the bottom line is that they had a fully functional 737, albeit with one switch in an uncommon position (that they failed to catch & correct). Compared with every other 737 out there, there was nothing wrong with theirs that caused the crash. Discussions of wiring & backup wiring & etc is all hypothetical, and might explain another accident. This one, however, is entirely explained by human factors. | |
