If you want to see an episode of a podcast about engineering disasters which is itself, ironically, an engineering disaster, well there’s your problem
Just for what it’s worth, it looks like it was actually an equipment malfunction, not someone fucking up, that caused the accident. The company claimed the person fucked it in an attempt to cover their asses, and they were eventually found to be hiding the truth in a court of law.
