I recommend watching the Blancolirio channel on YouTube, Juan is a 777 pilot and has I think hundreds of episodes on crashes and near crashes that have occurred. Third pilots have saved countless lives.

The insane thing about the Lion Air Flight 610 crash is in the same plane a day before it was avoided because the 3rd pilot who didn't have to follow any particular checklist realized there was a trim stabilizer issue and had the pilots turn it off.

Now, I have no idea why that plane flew again the next day at all. But it did with two pilots and all 189 aboard were killed.
