Before a normal February morning in 2003 became tragically unforgettable, there was a meeting with engineers and NASA officials...and an infamous PowerPoint slide
The PP presented to NASA was tremendously confusing and poorly written. It told me nothing. I’m shocked Boeing would present this to NASA and equally shocked that NASA didn’t demand clarification.

A bold takeaway at the bottom of the slide clearly stating the risk was certainly warranted.
