The future of flying

There's some YT videos where some airline pilots are giving their opinions: one said that, soon after take-off, the co-pilot might have accidentally retracted the flaps rather than retracting the landing gear. Because in the videos, you see the flaps are up but the landing gear is still down.

It's a bit like that Korean airliner disaster (on Jeju island ?) where, after a birdstrike, they make it down but didn't lower the flaps so the plane pummeled into a wall at the end of the runway. Not related, I know, but it shows the importance of flap position both during take-off and landing.
