Bunta130,
ref the 15 ft txfer release extension trip. If we are talking the same trip I was the President of the inquiry for that one ! We had been banging on for years to have a cable of the correct length made for the 'stretch' as it was an incident waiting to happen. Even after the Inquiry and our recommendations nothing was done. These SIs at least in my time were only about allocating blame and not about rectifying issues like this. Also the 'system' could not distinguish between an honest mistake made trying to get the job done and negligence per se. The definition of negligence always tied the Inquiry's hands.
