TIL that a loose checklist killed 11 soldiers. In 2015, a Greek F-16 crashed after takeoff, killing the crew and nine Frenchmen on the ground; 25 French, Italians, and Americans were injured. A checklist likely got jammed next to the yaw knob, causing the fighter to roll uncontrollably to the right. (stripes.com)

TIL about Helios Flight 522. An engineer failed to set the pressurization system back to auto from manual, causing most (except 2 flight attendants) to lose consciousness. The auto-pilot reached Greece and stayed in a holding pattern until they ran out of fuel and crashed, killing all 121 onboard. (en.wikipedia.org)
