RE: Fukushima Update: Prosecutors Look To Put ex-Tepco Executives In Jail For Years
Hindsight is 20/20. I just don't buy it. Every disaster could be "avoided" had x and y been done. There were safety measures in place. Lots of them. It's just that nobody really thought it was going to happen. I think the report also says that there was only a 20% chance of this kind of potentiality within 30 years? At those odds, I'd bet against nature too.
Also, the court said something like they didn't like that they chose cost over safety. How asinine. People and companies make that calculation every day of every year. It's part of the job.
it isn't about avoiding it it's about finding liability for the damages and determining if their actions in any way worsened the damage for victims.. which multiple courts have concluded was the case. 👍
I guess. Seems like nobody is really "at fault" here, so liability seems moot. It's not like the Chernobyl explosion where staff were clearly at fault.
