90% of engineering disasters trace back to 6 failure modes:
1. Normalization of deviance
Small violations of protocol that don't cause failure. They get normalized. Then one day the margin runs out. (See: Challenger, Columbia)
2. Organizational pressure overriding engineering judgment
Engineers knew. Management decided anyway. (See: Challenger, 737 MAX)
3. Single point of failure
One component. No backup. Catastrophic when it fails. (See: Tacoma Narrows, Chernobyl control rods)
4. Cumulative damage
Nothing dramatic. Just slow degradation nobody tracked. (See: every bridge that "suddenly" collapsed)
5. Interface failure
Each component works perfectly. They fail where they connect. (See: Mars Climate Orbiter โ metric vs imperial)
6. Design outside tested parameters
The system was tested at normal conditions. Reality wasn't normal. (See: Deepwater Horizon, Tenerife disaster)
Know these. They're recurring.
@MerciDee71@RapidResponse47@SecRubio@SenBooker Too bad your public education didn't include critical thinking instead of meme generation 101. Sadly, you're not even really good at that.
@SenSanders Actually, we need less government. You and your cronies and fellow leftists destroyed the healthcare system so less of you is better. Know what I mean?
@shipwreckedcrew@PolitiBunny She's wrong as well. The average Mainer thinks Platner is the worst we have to offer. Collins sucks too, but at least you get 25% of what you want.
@RealCandaceO Get 50 miles out of town and see how most are living. Maybe, your can take a spring tour of the Ukrainian front and see how wonderful life is for Russians. You're ignorant beyond words to the point, you're a con. No one can be this uneducated. Right?
