Good points. But - the difference here I believe is that a bend car has nothing to do with my qualities as a physician. And the plane going down has nothing to do (at least not immediately, you can always learn from the mistakes others made) with you piloting YOUR plane. But the Egypt Air guy screwed himself up in his profession quite visibly - and the ground instructions he missed after that indicate that he either never has been or at least is not now on top of his game. It might be tough to concentrate on your next case after your patient just died on the table from your mistake (cutting royaly into the inferior cava).
