   A senior investigator with the independent board that is looking
   into the crash cited Mr. Rocha's e-mail message today as evidence
   that top NASA managers might have failed to encourage a healthy
   exchange of ideas and intimidated those below them in the
   organization.

   "Those at lower levels discuss among themselves but do not raise
   their concerns to those aggressive leaders who can act on their
   concerns," the senior investigator said.

   If NASA had a robust safety culture, the investigator said,
   lower-ranking engineers would have felt freer to be more emphatic
   about their concerns.


Deja vu all over again?
