Many witnesses were called in to testify, including the engineers who had the most influential positions: Theodore Cooper, John Sterling Deans, and Edward Hoare. Read the transcripts from their testimony (See attached) and reflect on their testimony.
Based on their testimony and your knowledge of the skills, qualities, and rules relating to being an expert witness, evaluate their competence as engineers and expert witnesses. Consider their qualifications for the positions they were assigned to and whether they were qualified for the positions. Discuss how these shortcomings likely played into the failure.
