I’m fascinated with infrastructure & industrial failures. Where I used to work those failures resulted mostly in lost product, downtime, and expensive repairs. Generally not life threatening safety situations, but occasionally someone got hurt or killed dealing with problems. And of course there was always a “cover your ass” policy in place so that when something did happen it was always the employees fault. It became evident to me that somewhere in the ownership or management chain there were decisions made that it was cheaper to accept these costs than to structure things so that they didn’t happen. When a potential problem was identified, objection raised, and suggestions made on a better way of doing things, there was always a cost benefit analysis done and from somewhere in the mucky-muck department came some version of the statement “that shouldn’t happen!” Be it a plane crash (many of them at least), a bridge collapse, or a CSB type disaster it seems the one consistent factor that always shows up in the aftermath is our old friend “that shouldn’t happen”. It took me until my retirement years to learn this and I won’t be involved in anything going forward where I could make a difference. If I were to offer my 2 cents it would be this- when someone says “that shouldn’t happen” or even worse “that can’t happen” stop the presses and go back to square one.

Hey the csb knows everything! After the fact anyway… they know what all the volunteer people did wrong in hindsight. I think we should send them in next time. Csb guys with your confidence and supreme knowledge suit up we’re getting a dangerous call YOU’RE in charge

literally the entire point of the organisation is to investigate incidents to see what went wrong so we can avoid such incidents & be more prepared for them. they're not blaming first responders, they're advocating additional training & preparedness so first responders & the public can be safer.

Does anyone know what song it is that they play at the opening and on occasion throughout the video? I'm having all sorts of problems trying to track it down, and I really want to listen to the whole track.

Even after having stumbled upon this video multiple times I just do not get how the people working in the store at 4:40 did not just leave. I hope I am correct to believe myself smart enough to not hang out in a air-fuel bomb.

SO from what i gather, The USCSB basically only investigates and writes a report then, most of the time, nothing is done. Why does the organisation exists if it has absolutely no legal autority?? I mean, recommendations aren't worth anything if they are just that, recommendations, they need to be laws, norms, consequences, anything else than only a report and recommendations.
