And a House of Commons investigation found more than 486 anomalies in the software after examining only 18 percent of the code." AeroPerú Flight 603: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o7YIXxgadA "The cause of the problem was later found to be duct tape covering the 757’s static ports, on the underside of the plane.

"A key reason for the pilots not correctly configuring the aircraft was the failure of the Take-Off Warning System to alert them that there was a problem."
