Air Crashes
summary
Case studies name accidents and give numbers: United 173 runs out of fuel after misreadings and poor crew coordination (189 aboard, 10 dead, 24 seriously injured); Tenerife shows a cascade of errors as KLM (248) and Pan Am (396) collide in dense fog; United 232 loses all hydraulics yet lands with 112 killed 184 survived after improvised throttle-only control and passenger assistance. The concrete claim: crew resource management cuts fatal chains by forcing shared situational awareness and explicit procedures.
