snip the rest. Human fallibility is understandable, but to make such a
mistake when trying to recover from an emergency is a very serious error
indeed. In many professions (surgery, air traffic control, etc) such an
action would, after investigation, be likely to result in dismissal and
a review of procedures.

Will that be the case for LU?

As I said elsewhere this sort of failure will require a Formal
Investigation to be undertaken with clear actions and Board Level
tracking of those actions. It is not possible to say what will happen to
those who may be found to have made a mistake. It is all too easy to
reach a judgment from reading the daily report extract that was posted
in the preceding post. As to exactly what happened and why that will be
for the formal investigation.

Thanks for the report - but it catalogues errors more than inspiring
confidence from lessons learnt

Which is all that is to be expected for a report written for the next
day's management report. It can not and does not go into the required
level of detail for such a serious incident.
