Danger Dubai Skipper sent to Prison.

As some will have read in todays Gulf News,

a ships Captain has been sent to prison and severely fined by Dubai's Public Prosecution after being found guilty of accidentally causing a workmans death involving his ship.

"According to the court, the Captain carried out his duty inappropriately and failed to adhere to safety measures."
Not to much imagination required to directly relate this vague, far-reaching legal approach and its consequences to any event involving a Captain and his Aeroplane in Dubai, ( acknowledged, it can happen elsewhere).

Anyways, as always be careful out there......now what was that about that Legal Insurance again?
