Habsheim, France. June 26th, 1988. The test-flight of the first fully-automated airliner that removes the "Human-Factor" from the puzzle.

Technology is the force behind modern innovation. But what are the consequences of over-reliance on technology in business? A tragic and chilling demonstration...

Yonatan, this was very impactful. Technology is a double edged sword. Your points are all very valid. It is very important when new tech is introduced to ask what can go wrong. It is more important than waiting until a tragedy and looking in retrospect to see what did go wrong. This is a very sad event but your message was certainly a very good one.

Alan,

Great point about " ask what can go wrong. It is more important than waiting until a tragedy and looking in retrospect to see what did go wrong."

I am going to add this as an additional point in the post right now.

Thanks,

Yoni

Heidi,

Thanks. I wanted the disclaimer to make sure that it was 100% clear that I was not in any way using the tragic incident for promotional purposes, rather only to gleen some educational and what I deemed important lessons. Thanks,

Yoni

Yoni, this is really chilling! Excellent lessons and the disclaimer was very human and classy on your part.
