You may have outdone yourself this time Karen. I’ve been through this a couple times now and still catching new things. That last video is money. I’ll hit it again later tonight. Solid effort as always.

The sad thing about our world is that incompetence and malevolence look so much alike one can't tell the difference anymore. They couldn't have done more damage if they tried, which leads one to conclude that they did in fact try.

I'm in a "generous" mood at the moment, so my suggestion is this: our infrastructure is just this old and people are just this incompetent and our systems are just this fragile, and this truly is an accident, though one that was inevitable. ("Black swan" events, I'm starting to conclude, are only "black swan" events because we've yet to admit that all these things are the natural outcome of years of neglect, misplaced priorities, and letting people fail upward.)

I love your compilations. They provide great material to work with. I admire the work you put in. You're like having a personal researcher.

I watched the crash vid in slow mo but then decided not to distract myself. Consequently, very handy that you've provided this all-in-one toolkit with a funny video to boot.
