Recent reports on the Korean ferry ship disaster indicate an unwillingness of junior officers to take charge and call for evacuation when the captain was indisposed. Does anyone see a parallel with AZ214?
There are addition similarities. I have experience flying the 767 as well as operating yachts which have autopilots linked to a computerized navigation system. In both vehicles I have, on occasion, selected an incorrect mode which if left to it's own devices would result in disaster. For example, in the case of the yacht it's quite easy to accidentally direct the autopilot to make a sudden hard turn. I suspect that what the young woman operating the ferry did.
The key, of course, is to recognize your mistake (or for someone else to recognize it) and then take timely action to correct it. The two go hand-in-hand.
I wonder if there was anyone else on the bridge of the ferry who failed to speak up when they should have.
