Plane crashes(Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell)

Planes crashes rarely happen in real life the same way they
happen in the movies. Some engine part does not explode
in a fiery bang. The rudder doesn't suddenly snap under the force of takeoff. The captain doesn't gasp, "Dear God,"
as he's thrown back against his seat. The typical commer￾cial jetliner—at this point in its stage of development—is
about as dependable as a toaster. Plane crashes are much
more likely to be the result of an accumulation of minor
difficulties and seemingly trivial malfunctions."'

In a typical crash, for example, the weather is poor—
not terrible, necessarily, but bad enough that the pilot
feels a little bit more stressed than usual. In an overwhelming number of crashes, the plane is behind schedule, so the pilots are hurrying. In 52 percent of crashes, the
pilot at the time of the accident has been awake for twelve
hours or more, meaning that he is tired and not thinking
sharply. And 44 percent of the time, the two pilots have
never flown together before, so they're not comfortable
with each other.
