I feel like if someone is supposed to be inspecting things daily that there should be an easily accessible record of those inspections.
There's a AvE video about a gondola where the inspector/maintenance engineer left the maintenance clamps on one of the emergency brakes that kept tugging on a cable. (This thing keeps the brakes open).
When something else failed, the emergency brakes never closed on the cable and it ended up just being a box of arms and legs at the bottom of the hill.
My point is it's never one guys fault, a lot of things failed for it come to this one guy being allowed to leave the maintenance equipment on for months
I used to love AvEs videos before he got on the antivax conspiracy theorist train. Is he still doing that?
Haven't seen a video like that. I don't watch a lot because I'm not interested in all the tooling and stuff. Sad to hear such a sensible guy spewing that shit.
Ah, yeah, I used to watch him for the tool videos and then when covid happened he got super into antivax conspiracy stuff and was a proud vocal supporter of the convoy antivax protest. That's when I finally unsubbed.
He did a three minute video praising the Truckers Protest a while back and I stopped watching that. I wouldn't be surprised if he doubled down, but that "protest" was always a scam and I lost a lot of respect for him for not identifying it as such.
Yeah but who knows what qualifies as an inspection. It might have just been an employee walking the route every morning before letting customers. Checking air quality is probably the most important thing to do frequently.
