this theory can facilitate in representing accidents as low and high frequency safety hazards at
the top of the pyramid.
2. Preconditions
Crisis such as plane crash like the one observed in case of Aeroflot Flight 593, takes
place rarely and generally provides several warning signs. Despite such warning signs, some
people did not adequately respond to the case emergency. The flight crash of Aeroflot Flight 593
provided with several warning signs such as the disconnection of autopilot mode and the flights’
control system. This needed a switch of the flights’ ailerons to manual controls over the flight
systems (El-Sayed 2016). Prior to the plane crash and after turning off the autopilot mode, the
plane did not show any warning sign which is audible but only an indicator light came on
indicating that the flight is going to crash. Such early warning signs in the form of indicator light
were not noticed by the pilots as the fight had a new Russian designed with new systems.
Moreover, certain audible warning signals were also not adequately noticed by any flight
attendant or passenger. Another warning sign that was highlighted before the plane crash was
observed to be the unusual right tilt of the aircraft. After few moments of such warning sign the
indicator of the flight path blinked as it turned. The turn of Aeroflot Flight 593 became
continuous that resulted in the predictedpath of flight drawn towards the screen while remaining
in a holding pattern, where such 180 degree turn was made intentionally as a warning sign to
remain in a single place (Gerken, Van der Land and van der Meer 2016). This warning
indication was observed to be intentional for the flight attendants to observe that the flight was
unable to regain great control.
