I was watching a documentary about a plane that crashed, killing everyone on board, because someone left tape on a pitot tube during maintenance

Terrifying.
Fortunately, I was not working on safety-critical systems at the time. Now I am, so this is a great case study.
The article glosses over whether or not Boeing was even partially found at fault. In my opinion, this was a major design flaw on their part.
Here is the documentary.
