Re: AOC Rules!
If you are going to try to convince me that piping systems are more complex than, say, cars, go for it. I'm an engineer, and can't possibly see that they are nearly as complex as other products that are held to very high standards of reliability.
I recently saw that the Embridge break in western Michigan was caused by corrosion. How in the world could they let that happen???? It's metal, and they control what goes in it, and the environment that it sits in is well known. Not easy, but well known enough that cars now made are robust to the environment in Michigan. For a pipe to fail due to corrosion tells me that there's either incompetence or they are downplaying risks to save money. They can't claim that it was some kind of unknown.
And this pipe going through the Dakotas- it's brand freaking new. How can it fail so quickly??? They know what's going in, they know the environment it sits in. You tell me- is it negligence or just stupidity? Neither of which should have gotten the permit to build it.
