1. Determining the facts.

More often than not, accidents have more than one cause. Sometimes these causes take place in series, sometimes in parallel or in another complex interaction. One of the steps in accident analysis is to determine the sequence of events. Another concept is 'chain reaction': The Merriam Webster dictionary defines a chain reaction: a series of events so related to each other that each one initiates the next. This implies that removing one link from the chain, will stop the reaction from going to completion.

Construct a series of events consisting of between five and ten events that caused the two

Boeing 737 crashes. Removing any of these events should have prevented the accidents from

happening.
