Human factors incidents are not limited to errors by pilots . Failure to close a cargo door properly on Turkish Airlines Flight 981 in 1974 caused the loss of the aircraft – however , design of the cargo door latch was also a major factor in the accident . In the case of Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 , improper repair of previous damage led to explosive decompression of the cabin , which in turn destroyed the vertical stabilizer and damaged all four hydraulic systems which powered all the flight controls
