Gotta love these really poetic parts of major accident inquiries…
This from the Fukushima independent commission:
“What must be admitted – very painfully – is that this was a disaster “Made in Japan.”
AND
“Its fundamental causes are to be found in the ingrained conventions of Japanese culture: our reflexive obedience; our reluctance to question authority; our devotion to ‘sticking with the program’; our groupism; and our insularity“
Oof. That’s a deep burn.
