The power outage recently only added fuel to the fire that things are not going well and changes in management for one are urgently required.
That said, over at Chosun.com there is now concern that Samsung has not actually identified the root cause of the outage and that explanations so far made are less than convincing!
But the best part is a picture attached to the story showing plant managers and executives beside one of the stricken fabs having what looks like a bit of a heated debate about the then-ongoing crisis.
It's a rare and classic image and I have no idea how such an image was captured by an outsider other than with a long zoom lens. Perhaps it was taken by someone at Samsung and leaked to the press!
