What makes a plane crash?

Swiss cheese model. Each slice is a system, each hole a fault/mistake. An accident/incident happens when all the holes line up.

I find this stuff fascinating. I would really like a job in this. In my previous job I’ve been tangentially involved in the investigation into a couple of recent high profile accidents, and the main thing I’ve learnt is don’t believe anything the media publishes early on, and ignore all eyewitness reports.
