Kegworth: The Wrong Engine

from mindFly: Black Box Britain.

On the evening of 8 January 1989, British Midland Flight 092 fell out of the sky onto the M1 motorway near Kegworth, Leicestershire. Forty-seven people died. The crew had shut down the wrong engine. In this episode, Capt. Amit Singh FRAeS examines the cognitive mechanism that made a skilled, experienced flight crew certain of the wrong answer — and stay certain until it was too late. Premature cognitive closure, satisficing, and the authority gradient that silenced everyone who knew the truth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
