#1 "According to the report, a LATAM Airlines flight attendant hit a switch on the pilot's seat while serving a meal, activating a motorized feature that pushed the pilot into the controls and sent the plane into a nose dive, the officials said. The switch has a cover and is not supposed to be used when a pilot is in the seat."

My guess is that the pilot moved the seat aft to take care of a (possible chili-induced) biological requirement and left the switch cover unstowed upon xem/xir return to station.
