That is a stupid statement; very few of us humans manage to kill a large airplane’s entire passenger load due to ordinary, everyday “human error”!! SHEEEESH

We can tell you didn’t read the article. It’s interesting if you do. The biggest contributor to this accident was the one copilot that panicked and held the control stick all the way back most of the way down. A serious design flaw of the Airbus is the stupid idea of averaging the control inputs rather than have a switch to select which pilot is in command. Pilots have come to rely on the computers so much they now need a panic button to press to force the computer to take over when they lose control of the airplane. A panic button could have prevented this crash.
