A routine maintenance mistake turned into a fatal disaster when protective tape was mistakenly left covering the aircraft’s sensors, causing the Boeing 757’s systems to fail mid-flight. Deprived of accurate data, the pilots were overwhelmed by conflicting warnings and had no reliable way to determine their altitude or speed. Misguided by false readings from both the cockpit and air traffic control, the aircraft gradually descended until it crashed into the ocean, killing everyone on board. The tragedy exposed critical flaws in human procedures and cockpit design, leading to major safety improvements to prevent similar accidents in the future.
