Boeing
737 Max vs. Bad Data
|
|
|
Boeing has realized
that bad data streaming into the automated flight systems contributed to
crashes of both passenger-filled 737 Max jets. The control systems
reacted by triggering the anti-stall systems to toggle. Unfortunately,
pilots were unable to disengage the automated systems and regain control
quickly enough.

Fire
Risk at Notre Dame Was Underestimated
|
|
|
When the first alarm
from the Notre Dame's attic activated, the guard on duty checked but
didn’t see anything amiss. That was the start of a 31-minute delay before
Paris' fire department was notified. Also, fire suppression systems were
lacking, and risk planners misunderstood how quickly centuries-old oak
beams could ignite.

Warning:
Lawnmowers!
|
|
|
Lawnmowers cause some
of the most common and horrific home injuries imaginable. WESTPAK
strongly encourages you to THINK TWICE before assigning mowing duties to
anyone, especially minors, and perhaps even yourself. If there's any
doubt whatsoever, let a professional do it. They need the work, and you
need your fingers and foot.
