Reminds me of the story about Bob Hoover.[1]
He took off in his piston engine plane, only to lose power during the climb and was forced to make a crash landing. It turned out the airplane was fueled with jet fuel instead of regular gasoline (the ground crewman mistakenly thought the plane was a turbo prop).
Instead of yelling at or firing the ground crewman, Hoover had this to say[2]:
"There isn't a man alive who hasn't made a mistake.
But I'm positive you'll never make this mistake again.
That's why I want to make sure that you're the only one
to refuel my plane tomorrow. I won't let anyone else
on the field touch it."
