Not necessarily.  Meteor strikes do happen after all.

Still, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that large amounts of money eventually change hands based on the circumstances surrounding items 4 & 5.  Pure speculation on my part, you understand.

I think 1, 2, 3, 6 are actually related and should not be considered independent. Each failure in the chain increases the likelihood of the next one.

So maybe there are just 4 independent faults instead of 7 independent faults.

That is exactly the way I am reading it. 7 is unclear as to why it happened and could also be related.

I do not know why 8 & 9 fell out of the list, but they are clearly related as they are because of 3 (nad the reason I call them 8 & 9 instead of 8 is that the paper does so).
