小小错误Minor Errors

On September 1, 1983, Korean Airlines Flight 007 departed from Anchorage, Alaska, for Seoul, South Korea. The flight plan called for a direct route, but the aircraft’s computer contained a one-and-a-half degree routing error. The navigation system was therefore inaccurate --a deadly problem for the crew and passengers.
As the plane flew over the Pacific Ocean, it increasingly strayed from its proper course. In time, KAL Flight 007 violated Soviet air space, and was shot out of the sky by a Soviet fighter jet. All aboard lost their lives, because of a “minor error.”
一九八三年九月一日韩国航空公司007班机从阿拉斯加的安克拉治飞往南韩的首尔。飞行计画要求的是直飞，但机上电脑含有一度半的路线偏差，使得导航系统不准确，这是机员和旅客致命的问题。
当飞机越过太平洋上空时，已经越来越偏离正常航道，最后，韩航007班机入侵了俄国领空，被苏俄喷射战斗机击落。机上全体人员罹难，都因为一个「小小的错误」。
思考与应用
1. 这个「小小的错误」是谁的责任？
2. 我是否在某些地方(如饮食，作息，品格，习惯等等)有所偏差，导致后来严重的问题？
