Hi @ALL,
Disclaimer:
The names, events, locations, and circumstances in this write up are fictitious & any resemblance to real persons living or dead, events, locations, and circumstances is purely coincidental. The mock up situation considered is something that could happen in real life and can be a source of learning for anyone interested in root cause analysis using the Fault Tree Analysis technique.
Using Root Cause Analysis, we will investigate together the given life-like accident involving truck road rollover reportedly caused by one of the vehicle main part failure and build a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) chart to prove the report. We will briefly collate/discuss accident data, details collection, casual factors charting, and provide two or more recommendations to prevent such accident from re-occurring.

A truck got stuck in soft sand while traveling on a graded road. An attempt was made to recover the truck by attaching chains from the stuck truck to a tanker, but the chain hook came loose and smashed into the cab of the stuck truck. The incident highlights the importance of using the proper towing equipment for the vehicle and load being recovered. Chains are not suitable for recovering heavy trucks and can snap under heavy loads. Towing equipment must be rated for the weight of the vehicle and hooked up securely without the risk of it coming loose.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Editor's Notes
In 2005 NHTSA announced an up dated version of it previous Traffic Safety Alert concerning 15 passenger van alert. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. Thus this is why we have decided to provide this training to ensure all who have 15 passenger vans are knowledgeable of these hazards and take positive steps in providing training and select drivers who are experienced.
Due to the NHTSA notice, USCG has taken steps to help provide knowledge, skills and abilities to ensure that only trained, qualified and authorized personnel drive 15 Passenger van.. Personnel who ride in van pools, to and from work, should offer this training presentation and 15 Passenger Training DVD to those who drive. DVD can be obtained through MLC’s video lending libraries.
These are just a few examples of what could happen if inexperienced drivers are placed behind the wheel.
NHTSA has developed basic elements that may be consider when establishing a training plan.
Some basic terms to know.
Notice that the more passengers, the more likely chance of a rollover.
The statistics speak for themselves.
Loading the van is a key component in how this vehicle reacts in a sudden turning or braking maneuver.
Additionally, and average 42,000 people die in motor vehicle fatalities every years.
Most of these causes can be eliminated by reducing speed and increasing following distances.
Facts that everyone who drives or rides in 15 passengers need to know.
These tips are good no matter what vehicle you are driving.
This sounds like a lot to remember but if you know what makes a safe vehicle, you reduce the risks of a collision.
If you choose not to obey the laws, you not only place yourself at risk, you place 14 other lives at risk. THINK ABOUT IT!!
Experienced driver do have an advantage, but those who have never driven these vehicle must be aware that they do not handle like other vehicles, especially when loaded.
Aggressive drives are one thing, but drivers of these vehicle have to be more cautious and cannot be aggressive in nature while behind the wheel. These vehicle are subject to turn over especially if they are fully loaded.
Driving if practiced, can be handled if blind spots are identified. Backing is altogether different. Backing in a controlled environment with a backing is a must before getting on the road. If possible, park in areas where you do not have to backup.
Highway driving, at best, can be difficult with a standard vehicle. Vans tend to have slower acceleration, and slower braking capabilities. To eliminate quick turning maneuvers and to avoid rollover crashes, increased braking and following distances. Usually 4-5 seconds following distances in normal weather, but increase both when inclement weather is present.
This is where patients is a virtue. All motor vehicle laws must be understood and obeyed to ensure passenger safety and mission accomplish is obtained.
Things to be aware of that may impact your driving. Often along rural roadways, drivers have a tendency to drift off the pavement. This can be hazardous when a recovery is attempted. Rural roads sometimes have low and soft shoulders making it difficult to return back on the hard surface roads.
Always be on the lookout for the unexpected events. Escape routes, mechanical failure. If you are the van pool driver and sponsor of your passengers, what is your plan incase of vehicle breakdown. Safety of your passengers must be part of that plan.
Commands, Supervisors, Motor Pool Managers, Motor Vehicle Coordinators must ensure that drivers are experienced, trained, qualified, and authorized, by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), to drive 15 passenger vans. Checking for a driver’s licenses is not the only thing that is needed.
Vehicle accidents happen, you must know what to do before it happens. What is your responsibility to your passengers, vehicle motor pool, command, state or local police departments and to the other vehicle operator?
If you have any questions please contact your Safety point of contact, command safety coordinator, MLC Safety Division or USCG HQ Shore Safety Division.
