* TheyJustDontGetIt: Even though his plane was on fire and he needed to get everyone off as quickly as humanly possible, Captain Khowyter of Saudia Flight 163 treated the emergency landing as just a regular landing. He wasted time he could have spent depressurising the plane doing things like turning the "no smoking" lights on, and ''taxied off the runway'' rather than making an emergency stop, wasting valuable seconds that likely would have meant at least ''someone'' got off instead of choking to death. In general, he seemed to be utterly oblivious to just how bad the situation was; he didn't order an emergency evacuation, and in fact uttered the words "Tell them to not evacuate" at one point.

* HypercompetentSidekick: The flight attendants of Saudia Flight 163, who kept passengers as calm as possible and tried to fight the fire, all while dealing with a captain who had to have things repeated to him, didn't clearly order them to evacuate, and was seemingly oblivious to the severity of the situation.

** While most of the theme park incidents are blamed on negligence on the park's part, the Batman Rollercoaster decapitation incident was entirely down to park goers ignoring the warning signs about trespassing.

** Likewise, unlike most train and bridge incidents where negligence can be blamed, the Tangiwai Bridge disaster was not really blamed on anyone because the bridge in question ''had'' been built with safety standards and knowledge of the impact of floods and lahars of the time it was built (1908). It never could have anticipated the magnitude of the lahar that caused the collapse of the bridge in 1953. A natural disaster at its finest.

* AprilFoolsDay: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjyrjKM7rwM "The Amity Bay Shark Attacks"]], a mockumentary that presents the events of ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' as if they really happened, was the gag for 2021. Apart from the subject, it's identical in style to the other real episodes.
