The list doesn't mention one single crash that happened outside of
North America. Is that a reflex of the worldview of American media? I
would have thought that the Tenerife disaster made an impact.
Tenerife was in part a failure to apply CRM - an arrogant captain
overruled the doubts of his first officer about whether the runway was
clear, when the obvious thing would have been to check.
Other than "don't do that," and the utility of ground radar was anything
learned?
That the tower crew shouldn't be listening
to a soccer playoff while working?
