In areas with a strong and proactive safety culture, "near miss" incidents are investigated and mitigated. These "near misses" are cases where "no one died" - the accident did not happen, but if one more thing had gone wrong, it would have.
The manta is "for every _x_ near misses, there will be an actual accident". Where x could be e.g. 10; and accident in this case could mean "total loss of the ISS and everyone on board"
This is IMHO a strong argument for a thorough investigation, in some form. Congressional committee or not.

- irjustin 5y agoClearly there will be an internal investigation with NASA (too much happened outside of protocol) but we'll never hear the full details nor know of the corrective recommendations or lack there of. If you want to guarantee public knowledge it's got to be Congressional and I just don't see that being realistic because again... No one died.

- ashtonkem 5y agoThere should be an internal investigation at NASA, but they’ve dropped the ball on that several times in living memory. It’s a question of how much has changed culturally since Columbia.
