What is the analogy of leaving out all bolts from that door?

'Forgetting' to put in any of the screws holding a gas tank in place in a car?

'Missing' all welds in one of a skyscraper's lower columns?

An 'oversight' of providing rendundant instruments in an airplane with natural tendency to stall?

What a hopeless shitshow is going on there behind the company gates that these kind of things can happen in succession?

A duck forgot how to swimm, an eagle forgot how to fly, Boieing forgot how to build airplanes?

Oh Jesus! I seriously thought my hypothetical example is extreme, but apparently not!

> According to an article in the Las Vegas Sun, “Some of the steel, known as rebar, was so badly positioned that it stuck out of the concrete floor and was sawed off to conceal the mistake.” In addition, “Harmon workers reportedly moved rebar without first getting an OK from the structural engineer . . . .which is a major no-no in the construction chain of command.

WTF! How was there no punishment for everyone involved in this?
