Were the two individuals indicted for Involuntary Manslaughter?

The question that is begged is why someone with a grain of common sense and a huge pair of testicles did not insist the two stand down, cease and desist, and effect a timely rescue of the victim.

Have effective measurses been taken to ensure such a tragedy shall not happen again for similar reasons?

Are these two folks still in the employ of the government agency that they represented?

Were they sued in civil court over their misfeasance/malfeasance?

It sure sounds like a very sad story....and a needless death.

A couple of fire ladders...some rope rigging....bit of rope...a stretcher...prep of patient by the medical folks on site....a few strong backs and up she rises. It sound like all the gear, expertise, and people were there but no one could put it together to save the poor Woman.
