While mankind has their "sticky little fingers" on anything, mistakes cannot be ruled out. We are a creater of habit and complacency.
This is where computers are superior. Not perfect of course.
When people demand to know, "how can that happen"? Humans.
if the speculation about misfuelling comes to fruition, then it should have been picked up on a pre flight, depending on the mixture of course. Jet fuel would be at the bottom of the tank, would it not? However I appreciate a lot of fuel would need to be drained, into a clear vessel to have any hope of detecting Jet fuel. How often is the sample smelt?
Could have been a catalogue or errors.
