This happens when you remove all your senior final audit people ,and stick em in a b—s— job until they quit. Good luck you dumb b–tards.
Wash, rinse, repeat....
First, to money people, failures are failures. They know they don't understand why and will never be able to understand the details nor separate the truth from the BS.
So GEs explanation is that they aren't able to properly site a wind turbine? Beyond weak. That's a worse explanation than saying there was a manufacturing error.
This shows once again that the excuses that play well internally are shown to be half assed in the light of day.
The culture Beth built.
100 km/h = 27.8 m/s
"GE says that the three incidents are unrelated, and that it has already dispatched an expert team to to the Echoenergia site, owned by UK venture capital fund Actis, to determine the cause of the accident.
Reports indicate that blade detached from the turbine due to strong winds topping 100 km/h, which caused the turbine to lose stability and crash. Wind speeds in the area usually range between 8 and 12 meters per second."
Paragraph 1. How do they know they are unrelated if the expert team is not yet on-site?
Paragraph 2. Why would you present two different units of measure when everything of interest is based upon the comparison of wind speeds?
Who writes this stuff and does anyone check it before it is published??
This slip-shot work is getting tiring to see day after day...
