NASA culture worse than industry?

Two commissions have written up that NASA culture is a major cause of our
two shuttle accidents. They site that engineers are afraid to speak up as
part of the problem.
My question is this: Is the culture worse at NASA than other places, or does
NASA have problems that are in other industries, and these other places get
away with it because the problem with their culture doesn't result in a
highly visible catastrophic event. Maybe a comparison to oil refineries and
chemical plants would be useful. In these industries, catastrophic events
can happen if the culture allows unsafe practices to continue to happen.
Can you say ENRON?
Erin Brockovich?
FBI?
WMD Report?
9/1l Commission Report?
