    Yes ... and it was just a couple of months ago that Juan posted this one: Another Door Distraction Disaster 9 Mar Lancaster PA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6xr2P4YOLE&t=325s

    Yeah, that's the whole point Juan Browne is making in the video. It's ALL been covered. Again and again. In fact he quotes from Raytheon's 1990 Mandatory Service Bulletin wherein the company begs pilots NOT to try to fix an open door in flight; to just FLY THE PLANE to a safe landing. He goes out of his way to include shots of a Baron door latch mechanism and to interview a seasoned Beechcraft instructor who says he likes to startle trainees by opening the door in-flight, on purpose, so they're more likely to stay cool if it ever happens to them. That's a bit new. And this latest pointless fatal that Blancolirio analyses happened but a few days ago. Thus his frustration. Covered but not assimilated. The point is, the same - or something similar - can easily happen to any of us who fly. Who can forget the 1972 crash of the Eastern Airlines L-1011 Tristar in Florida killing over 100? Due entirely to the crew's distraction by a single blown bulb in the gear indicator. Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

    This video is largely about the ICP tour, which the author finally gets to after checking on his friend whose 912 quit (conveniently over a valley airstrip). The previous video, mainly about the forced landing (posted here before) is below.

    This is a fascinating (hour long) video made with an airline captain's eye for aeronautical detail.

    Some relevant points in Jason Miller's 'Finer Points' latest:

    This video sets out the somewhat similar situation in the US, but all based on ADSB data collection. It claims that this is contrary to assurances from government that the data would never be used for non-safety-related purposes, nor for regulation enforcement. (The key points are made between mins 05:00 and 10:00)

    Maybe a solid fuel stove like this? This guy reckons you can also use alcohol fuel with it at a pinch.

    It turns out the Vilnius 737 crash, too, came down to simple wrong switch flicking:
