You know very time the subject of a shooting comes up and forum members wish for a harsher sentence for a loss of a life.
I wonder why 'Cave Creek' is never mentioned. 14 young lives were lost and others badly injured in this disaster. Just to refresh everybody's memories here. DOC ignored the need for a resource consent and built a platform out over a Gorge virtually relying upon screw nails to hold the structure together. It failed of course and collapsed down onto the canyon floor 40 metres below killing and maiming all that were on it at the time.
No one was ever charged with any offence at all on this matter nor was anyone penalised in any way. You see nobody at all was to blame for this, don't ask me why not, a school kid building it after school would have made a better job of it.
