This is an article trying to explain the Human Factor regarding the accident involving a Singapore Airlines 747 at take off from TAipei Taoyuan International Airport on Oct.31, 2000.
Could the Congonhas TAM accident crew have also been affected likewise? By the known challenge that landing at Congonhas on a wet evening on a resurfaced, ungrooved runway would be? And failing basic airmanship (idle the throttles on landing) because of this overwhelming attention to the task at hand?
