Or at least was considered as such. In fact all were caused by the same

Yes indeed, but then almost every aircraft accident is caused by
a string of problems, sometimes connected (as these were)

Each by themselves usually no big sweat but taken together are
sometimes deadly. Consider this example, remove any one of the
