Isn't the "root cause" of the Titanic sinking the "Hit Iceberg"? The occurrence of any of the other factors didn't cause the sinking in and of themselves.

Fire = heat, fuel, oxygen (take away one -- you don't get the result) The Titanic sank -- why? Rudder too small Lookout people not properly trained Not double skinned walls Can't rivet on curved metal Hit ice-berg Went too fast Travel at night Any one of those could have "prevented" the issue. Root-cause should be relabeled "Contributing factors" (Or something like that). (and it should be a list :) (or a table in Remedy talk)) -John On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 3:23 PM, John Sundberg <john.sundb...@kineticdata.com<mailto:john.sundb...@kineticdata.com>> wrote: http://www.theitsmreview.com/2012/12/railways-derailments/ -- John Sundberg Kinetic Data, Inc.
