[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was Rush an engineer? As an engineer myself I cannot understand what he was thinking or why the laws of physics and principles of engineering don’t apply to him[/quote]

As a fellow engineer, I think he thought of himself as an innovator and scoffed at the conservatism of engineers. He wielded his engineering degree more to impress and reassure people than to calculate the stress on a cylinder being compressed at 6000 psi. [/quote]

That’s hard to believe. He should’ve know even innovation obeys to the rules of physics. Most people can’t even comprehend 6000psi but he should have know, not to mention material fatigue with repeated uses. He was a true dumba$$. He probably worked on 737 Max.[/quote]

He knew the material would fatigue with repeated use, he just... thought it wasn't fatigued enough, I guess.  With that being said, until the wreckage is examined, we don't know with complete certainty what the source of the breach was, and he may have been right. (but I doubt it)[/quote]
