Abstract

Donald J. Giffels, the president of a large engineering consulting firm, is puzzled by the design of a government facility to train firefighters to deal with fire crashes of airplanes. His firm was under contract to do the civil engineering work for installing equipment at the facility. However, he has severe concerns about the safety of the training facility, and when he contacted the government agency in charge of the design, he was told to not worry about it.
