Humanity has a great talent of ignoring collateral damage. The governmental body, the one without a spine, is so lobbied with hand grease that establishing culpability for the albatross is on a double back burner. The whole of it wreaks a stench of corporate and government bedfellows without conscience. But then of course when there is a natural disaster they're all clamoring for attention in the global spotlight with so called humanitarian aid. This is different because it isn't a natural disaster and the call of the day is "It's not my mess". I don't know about the never again slogan, after all there have been numerous other similar, not as devastating, disasters.
TOULOUSE, FRANCE - September 21, 2001 Around 300 tonnes of ammonium nitrate (AN) exploded, destroying the site and wrecking buildings 3km (1 mile) away in the city center. The blast left a crater 50m (164 feet) wide and 10m deep. It was responsible for the death of 30 people, and 10,000 injuries. TEXAS CITY, TEXAS, US - March 23, 2005 The 2005 disaster at UK oil major BP's Texas City refinery, in Texas, US, was considered the nation's worst industrial disaster in 15 years. SCHWEIZERHALLE, SWITZERLAND - November 1, 1986 Water used to extinguish a major fire at the Sandoz chemical factory in 1986 washed chemicals into the river Rhine, one of Europe's busiest waterways. The spill caused severe pollution, which took years to eradicate, and killed an estimated 500,000 fish. Even the Fish have to suffer the consequences.
