In its studies of accidents involving large transport-category aircraft, the Boeing Commercial Airplane Company found that most accidents result from a sequence of events rather than a single catastrophic event. Boeing’s research identified as many as 20 events in the course of a single flight that had a direct impact upon the outcome. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) uses a similar method to break down each accident into “occurrences.”
