slowjet- I did read the post regarding the Argosy and the court marshall. It is not relevant in this case in my view, the military have different rules regarding accountability than civilian law courts.
If this case was to be tried in court then criminal negligence would have to be proved (quite rightly) beyond reasonable doubt by a unanimous 12 jurors. Just looking at this thread you can clearly see that you would never get better than a 50/50 split on said negligence. I do believe however that 100% of us would agree that the Airport Authority were negligent, since this situation has happened before with out any rectification.
I don't even believe you would find these guys guilty if presented with the evidence in court and you had to take responsibility for your opinion. I understand we all love to criticise on this website.
The Korean crew in SFO were in fact, in my view, guilty. No prejudice, just reviewing what I've read.
