Boat Fire - Lessons to consider
In article m,
"mmc" wrote: As for the guy that died horribly after filling his boat, have you ever made a mistake? Should you have died screaming because of your mistake? That's a little harsh, isn't it? Harsh? You Bet... Life is tough, and then you DIE..... Yep, The guy should, and did, DIE, because he made "a Mistake", actually he made a couple of mistakes, and the accumulated consequences of these mistakes, KILLED Him..... 1. He didn't understand the nature of the technology he was using... He didn't understand that Gasoline Fumes were explosive,,, 2. He didn't turn on the Bilge Blower for 10 minutes to clear the fumes..... or the Bilge Blower wasn't working.... 3. He didn't have a Fire Extinguisher in the Engineroom, OR he didn't have one big enough, to put out the fire.... These things are REQUIRED Knowledge, for Gasoline Powered Vessel Owners, and when one doesn't acquire the requisite Knowledge, for safe operation of a technology, then one sets themselves up, for the consequences, intended, or unintended, of their own choices..... Being Stupid, doesn't remove the liability for the consequences of ones choices, or actions..... It only makes them more inevitable.... |

Well, I sure hope you have better luck should you ever make a mistake! |

Most folks have learned to do the same, but it is apparent that you haven't... and that is your problem, not mine... If your one mistake from Dying, then your just to Stupid to live... and are inline for a Darwin Award... Most folks are in the 3 - 4 Compounded Mistake area, and usually they see the unintended consequences, far enough ahead, that they choose a different path.... apparently that is not your forte.... |

"Most people try not to make mistakes but pretty much all do." 2. "....we're all one mistake away from death." to surmise.... So, Sonny, if YOU make one more mistake, which you acknowledge, above, that everyone makes... Your going to DIE .... Good for you... At least you will then, not be frequenting this newsgroup with your Goofy Ideas.... Couldn't happen to a nicer guy..... don't let the lid of the coffin, knock you in the head, as they lower you into the ground..... What a Moroooon... (Bugs Bunny Definition) |

I did not think it was funny then and I don't think it's funny now. I think I've fallen prey to another of Neals personnas. Or maybe a new chest thumping troll out to prove his online machismo. Either way.... |
