We all practice for the major failures in the sim, this goes to show that even a small component failure, in itself not critical, can lead to another of the holes in the "Swiss Cheese" to line up.

It's a lesson that should be learned by all professional pilots, don't be seduced by the "it won't happen to me" syndrome...... however good you are, it just might!
