Hello Everybody !
I wonder if anyone can help me, please ?
I am in Turkey, and reference sources just are not available to me.
The text below is an extract from a Technical Paper I am writing, and I
would be most grateful for confirmation that what I say is right (or
correction, if I'm wrong), and also for a little more "fact" - the
Flight Number and Airline, for instance, and the date. I have just said
"the airliner", but "Utopian AirLines Flight 178" is obviously how I
should phrase it. I would also be grateful for a "citation" that I can
quote as a Reference :
 Where major incidents occur, it is frequently the case that the
 situation develops slowly, with each progression seeming not to be
 particularly significant as it happens, until it is too late to try
 to prevent it. Frequently, each stage in the escalation process is
 `something we have dealt with before', and the overall picture is
 lost because attention is concentrated on the matter in hand.
 The classic case of this collective state of mind in a totally
 different field was the crash of the airliner in the Florida
 Everglades - the crew was concentrating upon the failure of the
 under-carriage locking light to come on, and ignored the
 malfunction of the automatic pilot which allowed the aircraft to
 descend slowly into the ground. In aviation circles it is an
 acknowledged phenomenon.
