How NTSB air disaster analysis can help you in an emergency
Matt Rogish explains how NTSB investigations of air disasters have dramatically improved flight safety and applies lessons learned in disaster recovery and analysis, teamwork, task saturation, and systems design to modern software application and infrastructure architecture at scale to achieve higher availability, reduced errors, and more scalable systems.

Matt Rogish examines the failures of modern airline operations—from United Airlines flight 173 in 1978 to Air France flight 447 in 2009 and First Air flight 6560 in 2011—and explains how NTSB investigations have dramatically improved flight safety. Matt then applies lessons learned in disaster recovery and analysis, teamwork, task saturation, and systems design to modern software application and infrastructure architecture at scale to achieve higher availability, reduced errors, and more scalable systems. There are no graphic or triggering images in this presentation, although it includes transcripts from CVRs (cockpit voice recorders) and may be stressful for fearful fliers (even though Matt emphasizes that commercial air travel is the safest it’s ever been).
