Re: Tenerife crash
As in most disasters of course one link in a long chain....
I can't help thinking of the Pivotal role the F/E played in this. He had the ability to stop everything even when he queried the other crew as to the Pan Am (and it has been demonstrated even at that late stage disaster would have been averted). He definitely had the correct mental model in place as regards to situational awareness.
He clearly was unhappy with the decision to continue.
A tragedy that is a textbook CRM case.
