Don't know what kind of engineer you are, but I have BS EE with minor CS from top engineering school.
Airplanes have to undergo preventative maintenance. We don't count on airplanes not being maintained. Sorry.
Highway bridges and other structures undergo constant inspection.
It is one matter for individuals in their homes choosing not to update a computer or for a privately held firm.
But firms with stockholders, or governments must follow manufacturers instructions when they purchase equipment and that includes maintenance whether for their vehicle pool or other equipment.
- scott_karana 9y ago> Highway bridges and other structures undergo constant inspection. They are supposed to, but underfunding/mismanagement can abuse the overengineering (which thankfully existed in the first place!) and skip regular inspections, sometimes with fatal consequences. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/22300234/ns/us_news-bridge_inspections/t/feds-let-states-delay-inspections-bad-bridges/ http://www.nbcnews.com/id/22300234/ns/us_news-bridge_inspect...
- davidf18 9y agoYes, you are absolutely correct. There was the collapse of an Interstate Highway bridge near Albany NY, the collapse of a bridge in Minneapolis, MN, and other cases. Since people die because of the lack of proper inspections, I wonder why management isn't held accountable for manslaughter or whatever charges.
