I came across this rather cool NASA publication dealing with aerospace accidents and incidents, a 244 page (in PDF format) report on all kinds of aerospace accidents and their causes, covering everything from crashes of X-planes, rough landings of the Space Shuttle, and problems with “almost” loss-of-consciousness incidents with F22 Raptor, amongst a number of aircraft/spacecraft covered in the report.
The report shows that quite often it is not a single factor that causes these incidents, but a chain of errors that leads up to problems encountered.
The free download from NASA can be found here with three different formats available, E-Pub, Mobi, or PDF.
It's quite fascinating reading for those of you out there who are aviation and spaceflight fans.
