damage, can be used in residual strength calculations. These models are well validated for classical carbon composites and generally hold for carbon nanotube composites too. After some discussion, which was dominated by M_ Crawford, it was decided not to report the incident to the authorities as it was felt that this would mean that the launch would be cancelled automatically, nor to inform any other CACHE employees, except the president of CACHE, M_ Wickham, J.D.. Wickham has no aerospace engineering qualifications but has a background in law and finance. Wickham was appointed president of CACHE for demonstrating great expertise in arranging the financing of CACHE and the development of the plane. Furthermore, Wickham’s political network is exceptional and includes the Prime Minister and the Minister of Economic Affairs (both personal friends), who were involved early on in the plane’s development process. As M_ Wickham was taking an early shower, it was not until 06.30 that the contact was made and Wickham was informed about the incident. Being immediately aware of some of the implications, Wickham judged this incident to require more than one persons’ judgment. Deciding to respect the judgment of Crawford and the senior engineers for the time being, Wickham nonetheless calls an emergency meeting of all the management team (MT) members of CACHE to discuss the matter in more detail. The emergency meeting is to take place at 08.00 in the office of Wickham at Columbus Airport. Invited to this meeting are M_ Lee, director of finance, M_ Martinez, chief engineer, M_ Peterson, head of personnel and M_ Jordan, director of communications, as well as M_ Crawford, vice president of development. All MT members were approached by Wickham by phone, who informed them about the situation and ordered them to attend the emergency meeting. Due to unavoidable traffic jams around Columbus Airport both M_ Martinez and M_ Peterson do not reach Wickham’s office until 08.10, while the others arrived at the appointed time. Given the urgency of the matter, M_ Wickham decides to start the discussion at 08.00 sharp, even though not all MT members are present.
