I was watching one of those plane disasters documentaries and these pilots were talking about a crash on takeoff that had occurred because the other pilots were talking to the stewardess rather than paying attention to flying and forgot to set the flaps.  As they were talking about these other pilots, they forgot to set the flaps and crashed on takeoff.

In what way is this not representative of human failure?
