it would have been another black mark against our industry had the catamaran been dropped on people or property. And a very high profile black mark, too

Get a life-if everything in this industry was left to a pessimist like you proberly nothing would get done.
The hevi lift business was built on people getting in and giving it a go, rather than standing back and assuming the worst could happen.
This type of work is all about risk management and for a bunch of Russians it appears they did a fairly good job.
