That’s not what I wanted to say at all - the op talked about the willingness to pull the emergency brake, but my understanding is that he was willing to but due to human error failed to find it. I didn’t mean to suggest in any way that emergency brakes are not important.

Another thing I didn’t say. The whole original link is proof that engineers make mistakes all the time.
