Default Bad pilots, bad maintenance ruining general aviation

Too bad you weren't aboard United 232 back in 1989. I'm sure you could have

United 232 was faulty maintenance. There was a crack in the engine that had
gone undetected, even though it had been inspected. If it had been properly
maintained, there would have been no crash.
