Ironic, right?
No, this one. Broken glass (cup) is the botched manoeuvre. The spilled milk is the 'where is action at the Vr call': obviously not in the correct place.
The glass material which shattered is the actual crew performance. Insufficient, distracted, fatigued, improperly trained, or even just not of the right calibre.
Same as others above, I wouldn't call it IFR/handling skill, it is a basic manoeuvre and a survival reaction. Myself, I hope for some eerie technical issue and the crew Human Factor to actually have saved the day i.s.o. created the mess.
But I was wrong with AF330 (suspected meteorite strike more likely than what actually happened) and never will understand the T7 Won't-Around or PIA deathwish.
