I recall from 'Mayday Air Disaster Death Crash Investigation' that S.Korea had a serious problem and multiple crashes because of this cultural deferment to the senior staff, even when they were doing something mind-blowingly stupid.

The FAA banned them from operating in the US unless they sorted their act out: which they did by hiring a bunch of foreign consultants to retrain the flight crew to work as a team.

EDIT:

Fuckwit captain literally flew the plane into the ground while his junior crew let him, because he was much more senior.

I like the title of that episode (the 8509 one): "Bad Attitude". Pretty good punning there.

God drat this stupid bastard catching his jacob's sparkler. It's like my poor friend who had a big soldering iron and it tipped over so he caught it and ended up pretty much burning his palm off. Automatic reactions...

He's a pro engineer. Spotting where he's going to put the explosions in his video's has been a hobby of mine for years.

He also had a video (which I can't find) of an interview with the owners of the house 10 years after the build. There were no structural problems with the house, just some minor fit and finish work over the years.

Re the littoral combat ship, congress wanted it to cost less so they looked at all the features and said “cut this, cut this, cut this” and one of the things they cut to reduce cost was the galvanic corrosion protection system. For reference, the lcs is made of steel and aluminium, and when you have two different metals in contact with eachother in an electrolyte (such as sea water) you get a voltage differential between the two that causes oxidation (and hence rusting) exceedingly quickly. As such, by removing the galvanic corrosion system to save 10 grands with of copper wire and a transformer, they instead made the hull rust through in barely a year. Designing things by committee strikes again!

You forgot the best bit, the engineering report about the steel engine mounts and aluminium superstructure simply said “the ship is disintegrating at a molecular level”. That’s engineer for “gently caress you”.

It gets better/worse. It misses his next train to toronto, sits in a bush overnight after accidentally getting on a train going into a train yard and being trapped in there for awhile and being spotted.

He then catches another train to get out of there, which goes the wrong way (to detroit) and he has to jump off it in the middle of the night at speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYCAMfbmJ-0&t=235s (4mins in)

I thought this was going to be bullshit, it's really interesting. And somewhat dangerous.
