I changed methods after I became Director of Safety: B4, they determined primary cause & secondary causes, then fix the primary cause & not secondary causes. So I made it an all cause accident. All causes got fixed. Fewer accidents. This was adopted by civilian world. @USATODAYhttps://twitter.com/GenChuckYeager/status/1167884992396939268 …

June 1973: I went to NortonAFB to become @usairforce Safety Director. @EllaRaines actress & pin-up girl, wife of General @RobinOlds, outgoing director, refused to leave assigned DV house. It took a month. Glennis waited in Grass Valley while I lived in BQ @THR @Variety @latimes https://twitter.com/GenChuckYeager/status/1167868758720835586 …

  Makes sense, if you don’t fix the secondary causes, one day they’ll become primary
