It’s the end of a long overnight flight; the crew are tired, fatigued and lost in a thick fog as they desperately try to find the runway at Tripoli airport, but they can’t find it and are about to crash. Breaking free of the fog the plane hits the ground just seconds later, a matter of metres short from the safety of a runway. A series of mistakes, misinterpretations, distractions, poor planning and incomplete information have left the aircraft in a state of ruin. The accident claiming the lives of over 100 people. For investigators, what’s puzzling is that this accident presents many familiar tones. It’s a type of plane crash that the aviation sphere has spent decades trying to prevent, yet here we are. If we were to piece this mystery back together, what exactly would we find? Well getting to the heart of this accident not only requires an understanding of the chain of events that brought this plane its critical moment, but also an understand of the sensory human dangers that can threaten the lives of anyone who boards an airplane.
