A "Good Eye" award goes to the worker who caught this! 2.4 degrees is a LOT, and just the beginning of what could have been a MAJOR disaster!
ReplyDeleteThank you, whoever you are. You just saved a LOT of lives, and money as well!

ReplyDeleteIf 2.4 degrees is a LOT, it should not be that difficult to spot would it?
I'm just glad you didn't call him a hero.
