#7 We were trained in 'Lock out Tag out' Where if you turn something off for maintenance and you don't want, for example, someone to turn on a high voltage line, you would either lock the switch in the off position or put a big red tag on it (Do not turn on!). We were trained not to turn the 'tagged' switch on - apparently some people would ignore the switch to dire results without training. |

#6 Might ask the Ordies from VA-147 about why you disarm a cannon before working on it. ( See 1988 USS Nimitz fire). dumbasses |

#3 And the ON/OFF switch from Boeing. Actually, this one sounds like user errror: "As the mechanics failed to have clear communication between them, they carried out a maintenance check with the operational cable still connected to the missile," Hey, Boss! What's the red tag on this switch? Shut up and get to work. We need to be done by lunch. |

#1 ...(Reads TFA) Yeah, that would be a mistake, all right. What's kind of interesting here is the dog that didn't bark in the night: the inadvertent launch site is, according to TFA, 85km NE of Seoul...which means that it would have been easily visible from the other side of the DMZ, and yet nobody said a word.
