The Reason Model can be applied to almost every significant accident. The holes line up as each layer of defense is removed. Regulations in themselves should be a defense, but as in the case of Lockhart they actually contributed to some extra holes. That does happen at times, often latent conditions exist.
Unfortunately Reason's model is open for dissection by any bureaucrat with too much office time on their hands. In recent years some have pulled his model apart and even Reason himself at one stage cast some doubt on his own model, however intellects do tend to do this at times.
Kharon, Doc Voodoo won't be going anywhere to soon. He will want to at least debunk James Reasons theories on accident causation before he departs our already tattered industry. You know what these 'so called' intellects are like, too much time on their tax payer funded hands in which they can practice postulating, pulling apart tried and tested successful systems, hypothesizing, fantasizing and other forms of general assclownery.
Besides, Doc Voodoo is the bureaucrat in waiting to sit in the big chair whennit is finally agreed that the 'Angry Man' is the weakest link and it's time for goodbye.
