And then to compound the problem by allowing even more people into the ground when they already must/should have known what had happened in the past... I think that all the people involved have ever wanted is someone to accept some responsibility for what happened. People are like that... if we can't find the fault that caused a disaster, we can't easily come to terms with it.
