The kinds of errors that cause plane crasshes are invariabley errors of teamwork and communication. -- Malcolm Gladwell (Outliers)

US Airways Hudson Landing

As plane mishaps are in the news, I found some relevant tie in's to why plane crashes take place, and building the case for business Blogging at your company.

"Sully," the pilot who miraculously landed the passenger plane into the Hudson, does not apply to this post.  He is an anomoly to the history of plane crashes that I'm referencing.

Most plane crashes are the result of a multiplication of simple, taken alone, harmless errors.  Doesn't this sound like the root cause of many problems at your company?  How many major errors spawned from singular mistakes?
