Blame Comes Quickly in Moscow Subway Accident – When Will the Root Causes Be Investigated?

Screen Shot 2014 07 17 at 12 31 10 AM

The Christian Science Monitor reported that the spokesperson for the Kremlin’s Investigative Committee (a police body) said:

As it is a man-caused accident, it is obvious that there are people responsible for it, so soon there will be suspects in the case.

Later the International Business Times published this headline:

Moscow Subway Accident: 2 Arrested Metro Workers Failed To Properly Supervise Track Switch Repair, Authorities Say

It seems the two arrested supervised a job where a track switch was re-wired with the wrong wire.

Twenty-one have died, over a hundred were injured, and over 1000 people had to be evacuated from the subway after the accident.

What do you think? Will discipline solve the problem? Or does a real root cause analysis need to be done?
