I guess I don't understand what you're trying to say. All it takes for a 737 MAX to crash is one piece of equipment failure and 2/3 an instance of human error. I submit that if three crews were presenting with the same situation and two of them crashed with everyone onboard killed, it's not really the sort of thing that you can blame on human error. All it takes for a catastrophic failure of the grid is literally over a dozen cascading equipment and human error instances. I guess I don't understand -- you're saying that the grid, where over a dozen overlapping failures is required for catastrophic results, should learn from the airline industry where it takes 2-5 failures to bring down an airliner. I think it's possible you're maybe getting confused about what the point of the interview was-- were they talking about a targeted attack on the power grid? An adversarial opponent, knowledgeable, determined, well funded, conducting a dedicated attack on the power grid? I think that yes, if a nation state or terrorist organization conducted a targeted attack on the power grid, it would likely do an outsized amount of damage on a regional portion of the nation compared to the resources expended. But in that case the comparison to airliners does not apply -- all the redundant safety systems in the world aren't going to save you from a Buk or SM-2MR surface to air missile.
