He should have known better. Letting something distract you during a critical phase of flight can kill you

it is posible that he could have gone through a red signal. an even if there is another train on the tracks, you can still reduce the seriousness of the accident by slowing down even if its only by a small amountThis sounds like the undercover Fox report a couple of days ago. A conductor on a commuter train was reading the newspaper while he was in control of the train. What the problem there, its not like he can miss a turn, and if there's another train on the tracks, you're screwed anyway.

How about this. Cessna Citation coming in at 223 knots at Palomar Airport (North of San Diego, CA), touched down 1500 feet too far, used the reverser, then decided to abort landing by retracting the reverser and gunning up speed. Too late. Four killed. Could've made it if the runway was 12,000 feet along. Palomar is a municipal airport with 6K feet runway.

the weirdest going to the BA pilot that was sucked out of the plane at 17,000' and survived.
On 10 June 1990, a BAC 1-11 aircraft (British Airways Flight 5390) departed Birmingham International Airport for Malaga, Spain, with 81 passengers, four cabin and two flight crew. The co-pilot was the pilot flying during the take-off and, once established in the climb, the pilot-in-command handled the aircraft in accordance with the operator's normal operating procedures. At this stage both pilots released their shoulder harnesses and the pilot-in-command loosened his lap-strap. As the aircraft was climbing through 17 300 feet pressure altitude, there was a loud bang and the fuselage filled with condensation mist indicating that a rapid decompression had occurred. A cockpit windscreen had blown out and the pilot-in-command was partially sucked out of his windscreen aperture. The flight deck door blew onto the flight deck where it lay across the radio and navigation console.
The co-pilot immediately regained control of the aircraft and initiated a rapid descent to FL 110. The cabin crew tried to pull the pilot-in-command back into the aircraft but the effect of the slipstream prevented them from succeeding. They held him by the ankles until the aircraft landed. The investigation revealed that the accident occurred because a replacement windscreen had been fitted with the wrong bolts.

I remember that when it happened. I think the aircraft landed at Southampton, not that far from here.
