Yup, Gladwell also wrote how “Korean culture” was the reason for the Asiana 214 plane crash.
What I find interesting is that people who discount most of Gladwell’s theories, will oftentimes agree with others, as long as it confirms their own biases.
- Synaesthesia 7y agoFrom what I heard of the account of that, he wasn't wrong. I mean Korean airlines specifically changed their policy after that crash to make it easier for co-pilots to correct their pilots. I stand corrected if this isn't the case.
- Hnrobert42 7y agoWhile what you say may be true, it doesn’t prove Korean culture was the primary cause of the crash.
- throwaway0908 7y agoHaving worked at a large Korean company for a time, it's very easy to see how Korean culture leads to terrible outcomes. Leadership is non-existent - competence is secondary compared to seniority to a degree unseen in the western world. I, for one, will never fly on a Korean airline even today.
