Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Cause of Accident

The collision of two Boeing 747s i.e. KLM Flight 4805 (KLM) and Pan Am Flight 1736 (Pan Am) at Los Rodeos Airport in the 27th of March 1977, was a consequence of a series bad judgments and poor luck. The terrorist bombing of a passenger terminal at Las Palmas Airport led to closure of the airport, and the diversion of considerable traffic to Los Rodeos (Tenerife) Airport with inadequate capacity (notably parking and staff). The congestion led to the routine back taxing, which put the two aircrafts on the runway. Other important causal factors include:

Medication errors are estimated to cause approximately 7000 deaths annually and cost approximately $2 billion in added health care spending. Improving the safety outcomes of medication-use processes in hospitals has been cited as a means of addressing this issue. Careful and planned use of information technology is a proven approach to solve a majority of medication errors made with paper-based systems (Paoletti et al., 2007). These systems have been found to provide much better compliance with the “five rights” of medication administration: right patient, right dose, right route, right time, and right medication (Hook, 2008). Accordingly, the present paper describes a test ...
