Failure Files 2.0: Boeing

Описание: An Important Note: This episode was filmed before the June 12 plane crash in Ahmedabad, India. The crash involved a Boeing Dreamliner bound for London, and the incident killed more than 240 people. This incident is truly devastating, as are all the incidents that have occurred and resulted in injury and loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of this incident.

We hope by bringing an analysis of recent incidents to light, fewer tragic accidents will occur in the future. We believe starting these honest, open conversations is Step 1. We urge all safety professional to take learning from these events very seriously – there is no progress without an honest review and reflection of the past.

The latest episode of Failure Files on Pipeline Things discusses the breakdown of barriers that led to two Boeing plane crashes. These devastating accidents raise questions about cost pressures impact on safety culture and the role of regulatory oversight. Rhett and Christopher discuss how the aviation industry was pressured to give approval, and how this story serves as a cautionary tale for the pipeline industry.

Like many of the failures discussed in this series, it is difficult to name one “bad actor” that enabled these tragedies. In truth, these events are the culmination of many different barriers breaking down under a complex network of business incentives. By arming ourselves with the ability to identify these influences, we are better prepared to make safer decisions in the future.

Highlights:
• Factors and outcomes of the two incidents
• Regulatory processes and blurred lines between safety and a race to revenue-generating business
• Lessons learned for pipeline safety regulatory processes
