Stop the blame game

Jun 30, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
With the countless experiences I have had over the years travelling on water, I can’t recall an instance seeing so many heads cramped in such a small vessel, which to the eyes were heavily overloaded and no safety jackets worn or seen.

Many will tend to agree with the SN report carried in its 6-25-09 issue and captioned “Relatives of Abary Creek victims haunted by tragedy that unfolded before them.”
For the record, it’s always sad to learn when persons lose their lives in such tragic circumstances, but in this particular case, the surviving relatives from the incident has got to take full responsibility for their lack of personal safety and there is no blame game to be played.

In lay man’s term, you created that tragedy, which is still haunting to date.
If I am also correct, did I saw someone from the photo (female) in smiles, while the vessel was travelling overloaded? As for the 911 service, they might not have acted promptly for many reason/s, the senior officials of this agency might very well need to investigate and take internal action and no one should ever dream of placing the focus on the 911 service, after viewing that image from the daily mentioned on the above date.
