CamarantiIs the following ok?

"Design flaws regarding tightness "tightness" is a problem here - I don't think that's the word you were looking for and the arrangement of the fuel pumps ~~arramgement~~ are considered key factors on what led to the crew not being able to control the flooding..."

Thanks!

try this: ...are the key factors that prevented the crew from being able to control the flooding.

Something that leads someone to do something creates an action, not a lack of action. Something may lead them to make a mistake, spend time on the wrong thing, pull the wrong lever, etc, but not lead them to not be able to do something.
