Not only would I fire the man who dropped the socket, but I would also pursue negligent homicide charges based on him and his partner attempting to coverup the initial mistake in order to avoid any type of discipline and their mistake resulting in a casualty and numerous life-threatening injuries. I would also conduct a full review of the entire process from staff training to equipment and tool check processes for entry into and removal from the station. In the Florida prison system, there is a procedure requiring maintenance staff to provide a list of all tools down to a drill bit or socket, which is reviewed and signed off on by a security staff member, laying eyes on every listed item on the way in and out. I cant fathom a nuclear arsenal silo not having a similar process in place during which, the missing torque wrench would have been discovered before the staff made it all the way up the silo, not wanting to make the trip back down and up again for a tool which they thought could be replaced with another.

If following modern ICS and emergency management requirements, a lot more lives would have been lost which can be concerning. Lieutenant Allan Childers believed the base to be safe and wished to remain inside, while Colonel John Moser (stationed at Little Rock Air Force base, approximately 50 miles from the silo) ordered an evacuation of the site. Todays ICS requirements assign the highest-ranking individual present on scene as the incident commander which I believe would have been Lieutenant Childers based on the way he speaks of the incident and his thought process and actions, meaning Lt. Childers would have kept his staff inside the base, killing far more than the single casualty which occurred the following morning.

The incident could have been far more devastating had different decisions been made or if more safeguards had failed causing the nuclear warhead to detonate, but it could have also resolved without any injuries and casualties had there been more thought put into the actions taken. For instance, with such volatile fumes inside the silo, anybody with basic understanding of electricity and electrical motors would have known that starting up an electric motor (fan) would have created sparks, static electricity and ultimately an explosion. The base was already evacuated, there was no reason why the officials couldnt wait for the fumes to naturally dissipate, only a slightly slower process than turning on exhaust fans.

I would fire both individuals who were working on the socket in Damascus, AR. Plumb and Powell were both careless in regards to the safety concerns of the job. The two people were so eager to engage with other activities, to where they were careless to provide the expected routine in their work. As the two individuals continued to act confused towards the warnings and sirens as if they were not aware of the situation at hand. There were specified protocols at hand that could have prevented the situations. Everyone is aware that human error does happen, things do go wrong. If it was possible for Plumb or Powell to own up to what had happened, there could have been no fatalities at all during the situation. Plumb should have been discharged from the Air Force for his negligence and being an accomplice to Powell’s cover-up situation. Powell should have gone to jail for involuntary manslaughter. He killed his close friend due to his own error and lie. Powell and Plumb would have also killed many more individuals if the warhead would have exploded. Sending the individuals to jail would be justifiable in regards to the life being taken and the damage done because of their negligence and false statements. 

My thoughts on the outcome of the disaster is seeing how the situation could have been prevented possibly. I am not familiar with nuclear warheads but I feel that there could have been a preventive measure taken if there was advanced notice. Taking the preventive measures to ensure that nothing goes wrong would have helped everyone such as using the correct tools, it was all human error. There could have been a better plan for an escape route. One person could have utilized the control room while the others did the work and prevented the minimal damage possible. One mistake that I think was made was having the individuals going back into the area when it should have been evacuated.

Experiential Group Topic Submission

by | Jun 20, 2022 | APA 7th edition, Social Science

Participation in experiential learning is essential to the development of group skills. In this section of the class, you will have the chance to experience being a group leader and a group member. 

 Students will participate in a live mock therapy group of five or six students for a period of five weeks. Students take turns being a group member and group leader. Each student will be the group leader (or co-leader) for one week and will be in the role of group member for the other 4 weeks. Leaders and members will reflect on the group processes occuring in their groups each week through the use of group logs. 

 Students will submit a written description of the group topic they plan to use for their week as a leader during week 8. The group topic should be appropriate for the classroom setting and not require significant self-disclosure of group members. Ideas include groups about self-care, groups about planning for the future, groups that try a therapy skill like CBT that you would like ot practice, and you are also welcome to create your own ideas. You may decide to give your group members homework that takes no more than 30 minutes in preparation for the group session you lead. 

Group leaders and group members must be present for the mock group sessions; makeup credit is not possible. Students in both the leader and member roles will be graded on the quality and detail of their reflection (and not the success of their group idea).

Guidelines

• Each student will submit a 1 paragraph statement explaining the group therapy topic they plan to utilize during the week in which they are the leader for their experiential group practice session. If you plan to give your group members homework to prepare for the group session, please that intention/ what you plan to provide for homework in your statement. 
•  In addition to this paragraph, you may also submit questions you have about the experiential therapy groups. Your questions will be answered but not graded. 
• If you are in a group of 6 students (meaning there is one group that will be co-lead), please indicate that you are co-leading on your assignment. You and the co-leader should both turn in your own proposals but indicate that you are co-leading. Please provide an additional paragraph that clarifies which responsibilities you have as the leader / which responsibilities your co-leader h
