      Yes he was and iirc in the book it was kind of implied that all that bluster from Hammond was horse shit and he was clearly cutting corners at every turn and portrayed much more as a greedy billionaire with a god complex and heaps of hubris so it kinda tracks.

      Also Spielberg did our boy Muldoon dirty. He survived in the book. That scene where dies is iconic though so I’m torn.

      Arnold was the chief engineer. At least in the book, I’m not sure if the movie bothers to make it very clear.
