He said that Borman, whose wife survived the crash, patched up the damage to the nose of his high-performance Seawind plane with duct tape and a danger sign from a nearby construction site.

The duct take alone probably would have worked...it was the construction sign that was his mistake.

“Probe: Pilot died after repairing kitset plane with duct tape”
