One of the episode I watched on May Day had a member of the ground crew charged after he forgot to remove the tape that covered an altitude sensor after he was done his maintenance work. The pilot missed it too and the plane took off. Caused some sort of problem over the ocean with attitude, and the plane went into the ocean
All because of a strip of tape....
