I saw on the news that the ride had been inspected the same day it failed.

Sounds like the inspector was either incompetent or crooked.

Unfortunately, it was caused by “interior” corrosion. In other words, the corrosion wouldn't have been visible.

I suppose the only way it would have been caught is if the inspector drilled holes in the support arms to look.

“...Sounds like the inspector was either incompetent or crooked.”, or didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing.

Having managed equipment maintenance, and repair for international container shipping entities for many years I am familiar with varying perspectives of corrosion.

Most believe it is something that can be like a can, and kicked down the road.

There are inspections and then there are INSPECTIONS.

And processes in between and beyond.
