And then I saw the source

While I'm not a pilot, I play one on my ridiculously modded-out Flight Simulator. If there's one thing I learned from it, actually, it's just how amazingly safe air travel is these days. There's really a lot of checks and balances in the whole system to make sure that, apart from some exceptionally severe failures, it's almost impossible for one single thing going wrong to bring down an aircraft. Almost always, it's a whole snowballing combination of unfortunate factors that does so, and there are effective ways of dealing with those before they snowball.
