Positive spin, instead of negative

Here's a good article on "lessons learned" and how they were applied
at the semi-recent bridge collapse in Minnesota. This is kind of treatment
these stories should be getting ... sure by all means let's call out the "Brownies"
when we see them (they're the ones doing a heck of a job and most likely
appointed), but let's look objectively and historically at disasters and see what
works and what doesn't. The sustainable part of this is to make sure you are constantly
building these lessons learned into future iterations of your emergency plans.

Here's just a snippet, full story below:

He said the city's investment in 800 megahertz radios enabled unprecedented communication among emergency responders from different jurisdictions.
