Nothing bad happened to anybody. There are mistakes made in every day life like a wrong limb being amputated or a drone strike that kills civilians and there is no way to take it back or correct it for the victims or their families. This has nothing in common with those cases and it bugs the hell out of me that it is considered news after the fact and worthy of dissection and analysis. As for PwC and the proper protocol: from my military experience, in training we would be taught to do something, including the proper protocol, early in the morning and spend the rest of the day in the field practicing it over and over. It was deathly dull, tedious, and soul-draining, and we would learn this way day after day. It takes being in a real life situation where everybody knows what to do without thinking to appreciate that approach to training. Since a situation like this never happened, the PwC people off stage never actually practiced what to do in a case like this and froze. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
