Oh dear, have we all become so jaded by the ambulance chasers? The
sentiment behind the statement is that accidents happen because people
take their eye off the ball. Accidents don't just happen, they are
caused by lack of attention and or poor planning.
Correct, remember that I'm quoting from the back of K2 Speed Notices, (I
presume they still exist but most likely under a different name) which
were issued to footplate staff weekly, in the 60s and 70s, not the
public at large and long before ambulance chasers came on the scene.
So if heavy rain causes an embankment to collapse onto the track just as
a train is coming around the corner which then derails then who is to blame?
Always finding someone to blame is a childs way of looking at the world, not
an adults.
You've either not read, or more likely, not understood my quote. No
one mentioned blame and in the case you sight of a landslip, there was a
cause, even if it was only heavy rain.
