The El Faro is a good example of how a rigid chain of command can be disastrous. I'm reminded of Malcolm Gladwell's analysis of "cockpit culture" and deference caused an airliner to run out of fuel and crash.[0] In the case of the El Faro, perhaps not deferring to the Captain could have saved the ship.
