The El Al B-789 managed to get airborne safely despite the 40 Tonne error in weight while calculating the takeoff performance.
I have written a paper on how and why humans commit such grave errors and ways and means to prevent them.

When the influential can’t defend themselves in aircraft accident investigations
Was weather the real culprit in this King Air C90 accident that occurred 20 years ago? Some intriguing but obvious facts and questions that would have changed the probable cause of the accident, not the flight crew.
Why did the accident investigators not answer the obvious question, poor braking?
Poor braking action by the aircraft during the 1st stage of deceleration proved very costly. Was it due to the runway surface which holds water and has a smooth finish? Matters which were not investigated.
Catastrophic, had an engine failed during takeoff at Trichy
Air India Express flight IX-611,a Boeing 737-800, VT-AYD 11th Oct 2018 suffered an accident soon after getting airborne. During takeoff roll, the Captain’s seat recline lock failed and the seat reclined. This resulted in an inadvertent action on the throttles pulling them back inadvertently. The thrust reduced from 98% N1 to 77% N1 and the […]
A350 goes astray as Pilot incapacitation occurs over Paris
An unexpected wind shear warning. The crew had disconnected the auto pilot on final approach at Orly. Thereafter no one flew the aircraft for a few tense moments.
Must focus on aquaplaning at Kozhikode
Hydroplaning will always occur when operating on a wet or flooded runway. Depending on different factors braking performance can change.
Must consider Human Factors in Air India Accident
Human factors in accidents play a critical role in attempt to understand why the accident happened and what could the the crew be possibly thinking.
Pilot response, probable cause of Atlas Air accident
The NTSB determines that the probable cause of this accident was the inappropriate
response by the first officer as the pilot flying to an inadvertent activation of the go-around mode,
Safety must adopt High-Reliability concepts
A high-reliability organization is an organization that has succeeded in avoiding catastrophes despite a high level of risk and complexity.
