Thanks for the answer there, Mac!
Yep, as you and few others have mentioned in this thread, for some reason it seems the news outlets seldom touch of the topic of design elements in these sorts of disasters, and seem to want to stick to the "human element" in their reporting. I guess they figure that talk of engineering and design would be way above most of their viewers' heads and that said "human element" will grab more viewers.
(...so they can, of course, have their sponsors sell more beer and Viagra to the general public!!!)
Yep, I guess those few of us who really want to know the ins and outs and the possible causes of these kinds of things will just have to do what we ALWAYS do....wait three years afterward and until "Frontline" does a program on it!!!!
