Thanks for this, Rick. I had not known that about flight 587.
Did STC address this issue prominently at the time it became known? If
not, why not? Certainly, when Arthur Andersen failed, the accountants as
a professional group were heard from.
But I somehow don't think that the situation T.W. Smith is describing is
due to leeriness caused by awareness of fatal errors caused by shoddy
technical writing. However, I could be wrong about that.
