A ferry crashed into charted reefs in the Aegean sea, again.
Unlike the last two Greek ferries that crashed and caused severe casualties, no-one was injured this time round.
Is this is a sign that some ship-owners are learning from the past mistakes and training their ship staff better? Or was this pure luck that the ship did not sink and therefore there were no fatalities?
Unlike other countries that get hit by natural disasters, we manage to make it a mess on our own, without needing to involve mother nature.
So with no tsunamis, no tornadoes and only but a few earthquakes, we manage to damage our tourism with old ferries and “Human Error”, the number one factor that we get to blame in all accidents.
I wonder: Is the anonymous “human error” excuse still valid for messing things up in other European countries? Or do people actually take responsibility for their actions and the actions of their subordinates?
I mean, surely, in this age of technology, wouldn’t it really make more sense to invest in more automated systems in the transportation industry, so that we rely less in the human factor, since it’s so error-prone?
