Vette 's findings on the crash of Flight TE-901 were highly influential in advancing air safety and accident prevention in general . In an interview on the '' Impact Erebus Two '' videotape , Peter Mahon said , " An overseas expert in jet training and jet operations has said that this report has made the world a safer place to fly in . Well if that is so , that is due to the persistence of Gordon Vette and the evidence he produced which directed me and counsel of the Royal Commission onto the right path . " In particular , Vette introduced the concepts of " human factors " and " organizational accidents " into the language of accident analysis and prevention . These terms still remain in use today as important considerations in airline safety . The International Civil Aviation Organisation ( ICAO ) used Vette 's report as an example of how a combination of organizational failures could cause an accident , calling it " 10 years ahead of its time " and adding that if its lessons had been heeded , " Chernobyl , Bhopal , Clapham Junction , King ’s Cross and certainly the Dryden Report would not have existed "
