Thank you, Mr. Glentworth!

Jackie Miller: "Armchair navigation is never helpful in these types of situations,..."

What's wrong with Jackie Miller?

Investigation into this accident need an open view. ALL speculations can be helpful, especially those from Mr. Glentworth, who after sailing for 30 years in the same northern waters, retired from BC Ferries last September.

BC Ferries is eager to give their own version of the event when it suits them but does not want to answer some simple legitimate questions. Do you think the media will keep quiet with an event of this magnitude? They want to cover the story, everybody wants to know what went wrong. And I believe everybody deserves to hear what went wrong, especially those 99 passengers that were on the ferry that night. The longer basic information is kept hidden from the general public, the more speculations will appear.

The most important thing is that we get to the bottom of this debacle. What happened? Was it a human error? Mechanical error? Or something else? How else can we trust BC Ferries again?

I think we should feel fortunite with the possible explanations by Mr. Glentworth; he is one of the first ones who has given insight on what could have happened. It adds to the public debate, essential for a well-functioning democracy. Jackie Miller should be thankful.

B.C. ferry passengers deserve an apology

"I'm just mad - we never even got an apology yet. Where was the captain? Why didn't he apologize, publicly or anything?"

Good to see I'm not the only one who is anoyed by the secrecy of BC Ferries. We are not getting any information. Does it really take a year to figure out what went wrong? What does BC Ferries have to hide?

David Hahn's Bad Handling of BC Ferries Tragedy

Why did David Hahn announce at first that "the rescue of ferry passengers was miraculous"? Maybe even more important, why is it that Canada.com is putting these types of errors in the top of their story, without checking the facts? And it's still on the net too.

Read the erroneous story (full of BC Ferries spin) here:
Canada.com : Rescue of Ferry passengers miraculous, says head of BC Ferries

Just a sample from the top of the story:

The orderly rescue of dozens of people from a sinking ferry in the dead of night early Wednesday off B.C.'s north coast was nothing short of miraculous, the president of B.C. Ferries [David Hahn] said Wednesday.

"Anytime you have a major incident and you have no one hurt or killed in this type of thing, I think you always think it's a miracle," David Hahn said. "You always think, thank God, and you (are) thankful for the crew. That's what they're trained to do. They've done their job once again."

Most probably two people died in this tragedy. Reporting has sunk so low...

David Hahn, CEO of BC Ferries, handled this tragedy terribly. Without being sure about the status of all passengers he went ahead and gave a statement that all passengers were safe. Anyone who had listened to the news and can count beyond 99 understood there was a discrepancy in the list, that accounted for 99-101 passenger. Never mind, David Hahn has a PR job to do. Bring the best positive story for BC Ferries; praise the wonderful work of the workers and lets not worry about the discrepancy of two people. I even heard the Coast Guard come up up with a similar statement on CBC TV that same morning. Something like "Oh, we just have to be sure that nobody was left behind. Just a formality".

Well, they were wrong. And this behaviour might have jeopardized the two lives.

There are issues where from a business POV positive spin is the best you can do to resolve it; Dead people is not one of them.
