Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Check Lists

[Steven Mills <cirtemoeg@juno.com>]

Good article William,

It seems gov'ts in general have this problem with disclosure especially
when it affects public health and safety.  ie: the recent fingerpointing
with
us and the Canadians [ in the past with the Brits' ] about mad cow.
HEY!...how
about quit playing the blame game and telling us peons how we can protect
ourselves!!!  However, statistics showed that McDonalds and Burger King
sales went up during this period, so maybe "we" are that stupid. Unless,
all this is "tail wagging dog" and we're being fooled....?

Getting back on track, what prompted the topic : "checklist" was a
documentary
on the History Channel on the sinking of the S-5
Apparently, a main air intake was overlooked and not secured. Which
points out
that even the best trained serving on sophisticated-designed submarines
can
screw up.

What Russian sub sank recently because the hatch was not secured?
