Really interesting showing how detcord can "unzip" a seam... if everything is in spec.
As opposed to just reg'lar old explosive bolts.
May I offer the suggestion that maybe NASA did not realize that "brittleness" was something that had to be specified as well until these two incidents were analyzed? Just throwing that out for consideration, apart from any actual data distortion from the contractor.
Reminded me of the pair of Boeing 737 MAX crashes. If only one had occurred, nobody would have discovered the real cause.
