I know we aren’t seriously considering this, but planes crash for a variety of issues but human error is definitely a factor in a number of them. Some reading if you’re interested:

Single human errors don’t generally cause accidents for a variety of reasons, but significant levels of redundancy help. Accidents happen because mistakes build on mistakes.

This is an example of one type of human error chain related accident. Could be caused by a variety of things, but this shows that the plane in these cases has basically nothing to do with the accident. All human error.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
