Maybe off-topic, but it is reported the roof of the Tropicana stadium was designed to withstand 115 mph winds, although the NWS reports the highest gust measured in St. Pete was 101 mph: Downdraft/local variability? Defective Installation? or Engineering Failure?

Brian Malone: Agreed. In my scanning of the 'Interview' document I think I recall the phrase "exit interview" somewhere. With redactions it's hard to keep up with who may be saying what (other than Rush), but I gathered someone from HR called a final meeting to try and stave off Lochridge's...

Pilot/ex-DoO/whistleblower Lochridge is telling his side publicly to the USCG: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/us/titan-submersible-coast-guard-hearing.html

Update- Looks like they may be completing this operation sooner than originally expected: "U.S. officials said the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command were actively discussing an early end to pier operations because weather and some maintenance problems make it far less desirable to reconnect it...

Was looking for RCA discussion to determine if this is new info, but looks like Part II has little treatment of the Alaska Airlines incident specifically. Apparently the FAA is upset Boeing seems to have discussed early findings with plant personnel. Sounds like signs point to an assembly...

OSHA reports they have jurisdiction to investigate complaints of retaliation against employees under 25 different statutes. To the extent Lochridge could be considered a "seaman", the SPA prohibits retaliation resulting from "the seaman has refused to perform duties ordered by the seaman's...

Thanks LittleInch. The conclusion "This tragedy should serve as a wakeup call to state legislatures and Congress alike that they must do more, and soon, to prevent powerful interests from silencing speech they find inconvenient, uncomfortable, or embarrassing through abuse of the legal system."...

Wonder what the substance of the whistleblower complaint was? I believe if NDAs can be enforced to leverage coverups of (engineering) safety problems by suppressing whistleblower reports that is a high priority problem needing a solution. But maybe it's just vague reporting of that detail and...

The OSHA whistleblower got sued and had to sign an NDA?? Either there's more to that angle, or whistleblower protections don't seem to be worth much . . .

Which side is debonding- the zinc-plated steel side or the PU side? I don't really see any formulation difference between those product SKUs- looks like just different tube sizes.

Last time I picked up my IC Hertz they had as many Volvo/Polestars as Teslas on their chargers (and plenty of both, btw), so I doubt the real issues driving Hertz's sell-off are unique to the loveitorhateit OEM. For my part I am electric curious, but travel is stressful enough without piling...

"Expenses related to collision and damage, primarily associated with EVs, remained high in the quarter," Well they must be hugely expensive to repair because weren't we told all the fancy pants driver's aids on such cars would make them markedly less likely to be involved in accidents in the...

Would be surprised that it did. Should that have been anticipated, and does that incapability make the Cruise cars unsafe to operate on public roads? Or less safe than a typical human driver, for a less absolute benchmark?

IR Stuff- I noted that but have heard many anecdotal reports of human drivers failing (or claiming to have failed) to realize they had run over a pedestrian, so whether that was a performance deficiency (distinct from a design deficiency) would seem to require more data. To my mind it really...

Trains are funny things- I'm told they sound a lot like tornadoes, although those seem to NEVER sneak up on people. [ponder]

Initial report from earlier in the month: https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/03/tech/driverless-car-pedestrian-injury/index.html "Video shown to CNN by Cruise shows the autonomous vehicle was a secondary car in the collision" "Cruise cars have their own cameras . . . which may help in the investigation...

The charges focus on neglect of the night watch- same as the thread from 2019 concludes. That kind of expert insight is what I've always enjoyed about these forums.

thread815-504484 - original thread (closed) Turns out it was a gas leak from a decommissioned portion of the supply: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/PLD23LR002.aspx And OSHA says the employer should have evacuated the building upon reports of gas odor...

Back to the original questions- there is not enough information in the popular press reports to indicate a detailed root cause. "In all the years of manufacturing eye drops" there have in fact been multiple cases of nonsterile or contaminated eye products being sold, (which the article...
