Common sense isn't common.

But the issues you mention (and others) have been solved by the aviation industry. Nuke plants and the Deepwater Horizon oil rig could have benefited immensely from consultation with airframe engineers. A lot of those faults that doomed them could have been inexpensively corrected.

I always remember the backup generators in New Orleans that were put in the basements. Precisely the time you'd need the backup generators was when the basements were flooding. Oops.
