How many fatal incidents could have been prevented if the regulators had stuck thier heels in and demanded change instead of caving in to political pressure or the industry jumping up and down saying 'it'll cost too much'.
Regulators should regulate regardless of money or politics - thier primary concern should be safety and prevention of injury / loss of life.
Instead we have an industry regulated by pussy cats - paper tigers who write reports wash thier hands and walk away.
Yes we may have individuals who may share some responsibility in this particular incident in the dock - but there is one who isn't, they just walk away calling themselves regulators... how perverse.
