The whole point of testing is to find problems. That the cause of the initial problem found was “rushing the testing” is embarrassing, but given the points they learnt about how the vehicle reacted to the fire it was actually a very useful test.

They could have saved themselves some damage by waiting for the correct fire extinguisher. They already knew about that risk and “a manager” evidently decided that getting the testing done was worth the risk. Well some risks are worth taking and I’m not in a position to asses that one.

It is reassuring to know for certain that the passenger floor really is as fireproof as it should be.

So, the live date has rolled forward. It’s a project and delays happen. Getting this right is more important than getting it quickly.

Those Pacers need to be replaced and this is a cost effective way to do it.
