You'd have found working on the ray-rode interesting.Crazy to have a trial that blames the crew. It was a loose wire. The crew didn't 'build' the ship.
Accidents happen... that's why they're called 'accidents'.
Instead of paying all these lawyers, they should just compensate the victims.
For forty years, they have had Safety Departments - who are like modern HR departments, that is, staffed with people who know nothing but shuffling papers and demanding meetings.
But the constant motto to come out of those Safety Departments, is: ALL ACCIDENTS ARE PREVENTABLE. They don't just say that; they make you repeat it, and they operate as if it's fact when an accident occurs.
And what it means, unsaid is: If all accidents are preventable, then when there's an accident, then there's someone culpable.
Someone to punish. To suspend, or fire, or even legally prosecute. Which has happened - when the EPA-WHO is not involved (New Palestine). Interestingly, the train driver who got a year in prison for an environmental crime (fifteen HazMat tankers came off the track on the Vermillion River bridge near Cedar Point, landing in Lake Erie) was in Ohio court. Nobody from the WEF-EPA or NS-BLACKROCK was in court for that toxic-waste fire they lit off, poisoning the aquifer.
I don't know seafaring, as a civilian - only as a Navy guy, that was bad enough. They, too, always have to have a scapegoat.
But, kinda looks like that's what's happening here.
