A cable snap is a function of poor steering and landing angle. Is is the direct responsibility of ships Captain. We have no other factor to blame. ZERO. The issue is competence ,Pure and simple. Very sloppy .

Can't it be the result of poor maintenance? Or perhaps a cable delivered from the factory with a tiny,undetected flaw?

No other factor ehh?

Then how do you explain how there would have been no cable snap if they had hooked wires 1, 2 or 3?

Does not sound like that in this case. If, as they say, it was human error and a valve problem, what they mean is, the person in charge of setting the cable properly did not do so.

There is a person(s) below deck that are told the type of aircraft coming in to land, who then set the cable tension/response for that aircraft. Each plane has a different setting. The person below deck got the wrong aircraft info or had the right aircraft but set the cable improperly.
