The cockpit has two switches, right next to each other, on the control panel. They're exactly the same size, shape, and color. They feel the same in your hand.
The only difference between these two switches are the labels. One says "Recover from Stall", the other "Self-Destruct".
After the explosion, is it "pilot error" that you pressed the wrong switch? Or is an engineering failure that those buttons were so indistinguishable to begin with?
