All the (literally) millions of dollars' worth of education, and there wasn't enough smart in the room to keep the thing standing upright.

Welcome to Elbonia.

Thanks BigV, let me explain a little as far as I remember. First the adapter plate is the large circular plate with the hole in the middle on the bottom of the S/C that bolts to the large similar white plate on the turnover cart. The turnover cart was shared by two programs and it was in storage, program "A", Tiros, was getting ready to use the cart and did an inspection on it while in storage and verified that the infamous 24 bolts were installed as specified. This was then signed off in program A test procedure. There was a several day delay and program B went to the cart and borrowed the bolts for another installation, when program "A" went back to get the turnover cart they never looked for the bolts as they showed as being installed and torqued. I think your seeing what happen next, a failure to communicate.

It's easy to see what how that can happen, thanks.
