Now for the second, third, fourth and fifth parts of the story as per first post pasted below..
Though, a simple question this seems. I am indeed expecting very complex and conflicting answers. This question has the penchant for spin-offs; like

Is it a case of a hand with a couple of soiled fingers?
What are the real causes and the practical solutions to this 'safety question?
What will be the first two steps towards achieving better safety standards in this region as a unit?
