Professionally, I occasionally get a bit involved with failure analysis, particularly as regards accidental chemical release scenarios.

For me, the frequent absence of failure modes and effects analysis on critical operations is fascinating. It seems evident that the operators of the canal never did a comprehensive analysis of what scenarios might exist that would prevent ships from moving through the canal. Because if they did, the possibility of a ship turning sideways would have popped out as a hazard requiring attention.

Or, perhaps they did the analysis, but management ignored the finding. That happens often. (In the chemical release scenarios I deal with, failure of management to respond responsibly to a finding can be criminal, so most operations pay some attention to the findings. Having a the same issue show up in consecutive audits is a very serious finding.)

Seems like an impossible task, but I think it'll be done within a couple of weeks.
May have to unload most of the containers.
Shipments are critical, especially with the state of the world in crisis today.
