from intention, expectation or desirability.[1] Logically, human actions can fail to achieve their goal in two different ways: the actions can go as planned, but the plan can be inadequate (leading to mistakes); or, the plan can be satisfactory, but the performance can be deficient (leading to slips and lapses).[2][3] However, a mere failure is not an error if there had been no plan to accomplish something in particular.[1] Performance[edit] disasters caused by human activities Human error and performance are two sides of the same coin: "human error" mechanisms are the same as "human performance" mechanisms; performance later categorized as 'error' is done so in hindsight:[4][5] therefore actions later termed "human error" are actually part of the ordinary spectrum of human behaviour. The study of absent-mindedness in everyday life provides ample documentation and categorization of such aspects of behavior. While human error is firmly entrenched in the classical approaches to accident investigation and risk assessment, it has no role in newer approaches such as resilience engineering.[6] Categories[edit] There are many ways to categorize human error.[7][8] exogenous versus endogenous (i.e., originating outside versus inside the individual)[9] situation assessment versus response planning[10] and related distinctions in errors in problem detection (also see signal detection theory) errors in problem diagnosis (also see problem solving) errors in action planning and execution[11] (for example: slips or errors of execution versus mistakes or errors of intention[12][13]) By level of analysis; for example, perceptual (e.g., optical illusions) versus cognitive versus communication versus organizational. Sources[edit] The cognitive study of human error is a very active research field, including work related to limits of memory and attention and also to decision making strategies such as the availability heuristic and other cognitive biases

Costa Concordia Grounding AP Photo/Gregorio Borgia, Files On the 13th of January, 2012 the Italian luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia with captain Francesco Schettino in command made the fateful move of coming closer to shore to do a "salute" to the island of Giglio off of Italy so as to, allegedly, impress either his on-board mistress or a crew member, or both. Problem was that the ship was going too fast and was too close to shore http://crimefeed.com/2013/12/5-cases-human-error-led-tragic-consequences/ and subsequently hit a rock. Despite there still being many passengers left on the ship Schettino skedaddled, and over 30 passengers perished. Adding to the disgraced Schettino's rotten reputation is the revelation that he was ordered back onto the ship by authorities but refused to comply. 2. Santiago de Compostela Train Derailment Rex Features via AP Images Francisco Jose Garzon Amo had this to tell a judge as to why he did not slow down before the train he was driving derailed at a curve while going almost double the recommended speed, resulting in the death of 79 and about 140 injuries: "I can't explain it… I still don't understand how I didn't see … mentally, or whatever. I just don't know." Allegedly he was on his phone as the train hit the lethal curve just outside Santiago de Compostela, Spain on July 24 of this year. 3. Tenerife Airport Disaster AP Photo On March 27, 1977, a tragic sequence of events led to the worst air disaster in history (not counting 9/11), resulting in 583 fatalities. Because a bomb had exploded at the Gran Canaria airport in the Canary Islands flights were diverted to the smaller airport at Tenerife, also in the Canary Islands. Added to the crowded situation on the tarmacs, a dense fog rolled in making visibility at short range nearly impossible. Under these circumstances, KLM flight
