Keep trying, folks. This one is worth it.

EDIT:

> Note that this is a long article (~3 hour read). If you just want the executive summary of what happened, I might suggest skipping forward to chapter 7 first and then if you want more, go back and read the in-depth analysis of earlier chapters. [HN user kraussvonespy 2 days ago]

- Which doesn't mention that the first 6 para's of Chapter 7 are an excellent tl;dr; of the previous 6 chapters. And definitely understates both the detail and quality of the balance of Chapter 7 (the minute-by-minute details leading up to the crash).

I tried to read it. Section list isnโ€™t links. Tried to scroll, got a full screen dickbox. Gave up.

If you want to write for email, just write for email and donโ€™t put it on the web. If you wanna put it on the web, use web features.

And either way, donโ€™t put full screen stuff in my face when Iโ€™m trying to read.

I gave up. Iโ€™ll wait for a summary from another website that treats users better.
