This ship also had an accident in Belgium in 2016 ... warning signs ignored?

Follow the money

The cheaper way is to ignore problems or do a quick fix

That works great

Until it doesn’t

I worked at a paper mill that had very limited systems maintenance engineers. One guy in particular once saw an electrician fix a logic loop lock-up by rebooting the local device IP address instead of doing an on-line edit or fixing the logic off-line and then upload.

The engineer did a download of the existing program to solve his problem to clear the locked up logic.

There were large parts of very large machines as far away as the parking lot.

"Button pushers". Management loves them because they never know enough about what they do to explain bad news.

Until......

Spend any time on big ships and this excerpt hits home. When this happened I said the multiple power losses in close succession were absolutely the most believable thing I’ve seen. Because I’ve seen it.

6 are required to pay attention. I always say....after the 6th check engine light, I start paying attention.

Obviously.

...and we still don't know who was piloting that ship.

An accident 8 years ago with likely an entirely different crew. Exactly what warning signs?

[fremont_steve]

Also not news. I heard about the earlier power failures a day after the crash.

I commiserate with the ship. I always seem to cause trouble when I black out.

What? Lucas wasn’t responsible for the electrical system?

I want somebody to explain to me the big belch of black diesel smoke coming out of the exhaust right before hitting the bridge? Looks to me like someone was smashing the throttle down.
