Ten Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation

Hmmm. No mention of September 11, 2001.
I would have thought those plane crashes would have made the list, given the
drastic changes that resulted.

No, because those crashes were not unintentional. There was no failure
of technology or pilot error involved.

The Eastern L-1011 flight that flew into the Everglades
while the crew fiddled with a light bulb back in the 70's
created new alerts on radar software for controllers and new
landing procedures.

MSAW(Minimum Safe Altitude Warnings) were born from that crash

How did they get control of the aircraft if the pilots didn't error in
letting them into the cockpit?

Simple - there was no requirement to lock the door and the door wasn't
reinforced to prevent intrusion, until after this date.

Not true. The doors have been locked since the seventies.
They weren't overly substantial, nor were there any real
strict procedures to cover the opening of the door during
flight.

No, because the changes haven't resulted in any increase in safety.

Beg to differ, Ron.
Doors were not routinely locked.
Most could be locked, but certainly there was no mandatory requirement for
them to be locked in flight.
I think my statement is correct.
