I suspect there is at least one engineer who voiced concerns months or years ago, was not listened to, and is now having an "I told you so" moment.
They've know about the helium leak for a month now but managers “did not consider it significant enough to stop the launch”. It's always incompetent managers.
Reminds me of Roger Boisjoly who desperately objected to launching space shuttle Challenger in cold weather. Managers struck again that day.
