Lauber, John K. (1987): New Technology, Human Performance and Transportation System Safety. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 15-20.

“NOTE: No abstract available. The following is the first paragraph of the presentation. In some sense, human error is at the root of all transportation accidents. To paraphrase test pilot Scotty Crossfield, "We either design 'em wrong, build 'em wrong, or use 'em wrong." Crossfield's dictum appears to be comprehensive -- it is difficult to imagine any other avenues for potential mayhem induced by human error than the design, manufacture, and operation of transportation systems. And it appears to be true, as is amply demonstrated on a daily basis. Clearly this is the great challenge facing the human factors profession: how can we design, build, and operate systems so that accidents caused by human error are minimized?”
