This is so sad. Reminds me of the Challenger where the concerns from engineering were ignored due to pressure from management.

- heymijo 6y agoThe great tragedy to me is the regulatory capture of the FAA and the erosion of trust in commercial flight.

- jjk166 6y agoThe Challenger explosion is taught in engineering school as an example of how not to communicate safety concerns. If you go through the presentation, it's terrible: they basically presented raw data in chronological order using an irrelevant infographic when they should have been showing a trend between o-ring failure and temperature. While in hindsight we know that management should have been more cautious, I could not possibly blame them for being unconvinced by such a poorly communicated argument.
