Plan now - or pay later
From James R. Chiles, Inviting Disaster:
Too often we just go through the motions of preparing for bad situations, assuming that the oly contingencies that might happen are simple or convenient ones. One of the missed opportunities at Babcock & Wilcox’s simulator training center before the TMI-2 [Three Mile Island] crisis was that the company only lobbed easy softballs to their reactor operator trainees, meaning they presented them only with textbook problems, signaled clearly by the instruments. When much more vexing multiple problems came up in the real world, operators were not ready.
We need to accept that on really bad days, more than one thing is going to go wrong. It will be maddening and frightening. There is no law of the universe that says one bad thing cannot be followed immediately by several more, and even worse, things.
