A good example of the Swiss Cheese disaster model.

Sky Lease 747 wrecked after minor factors conspired to cause Halifax overrun

That'll be appearing as a star in future Human Factors training!

Shame about the loss of a 747, what a super strong fuselage, over engineered and then double that too, impressive.

I doubt it.

Goes to show how scary fatigue can be and the consequences.

8 seconds before hitting the brakes? Really? A quick look at the nav display for the wind before landing, no??

Some fundamental losses of airmanship right there.

Hope the crew are treated fairly.

I might be high, but I'm fast.

Can't imagine that was a good career move, now more than ever - lots of pilots in need of jobs out there

Fascinating list of causes, sounds like the ultimate cause (imho) was pushing the crew into fatigue.
