Question

I'm not sufficiently familiar with the case to make comment on the prison sentence or the reason why it was imposed. What I would like to know, is how did the fellow get led into making such a mistake (I note that certain weld repairs on this component ARE permitted) and what can be done to prevent such an error ever being repeated? Has a MEMS investigation been done and if so what was the outcome? If not, why not? Punishment has been meted out but, unless or until the cause of the mistake is determined, nothing is learned from this terrible event.
