Exactly!If the fireman had disobeyed a direct order and put her in the harness and the woman had slipped from the harness and fallen back down the mine, what would have happened to the fireman?
He’d have certainly lost his job, been painted as an idiot in the media, and probably been prosecuted.
This case is an equipment issue, a training issue and a procedure issue, which is why senior staff were criticised. No one in possession of the facts has criticised the conduct of the man who went into the mineshaft to help the woman.
so it was better that they did nothing and she died was it? i would rather lose my job than stand by and watch someone die,wouldnt you? perhaps not…
