Reminds me of the time a shipyard worker set fire to a submarine, totaling it, because he wanted to go home early[0]. I imagine the Bonhomme Richard will be decommissioned too. I hope they eventually find the cause, will be interested to hear what it was.

He couldn't take time off work because he'd used all his vacation and holiday; presumably he couldn't quit because he needed money to eat. He didn't seem to be mentally well; who would start a second fire after the first? ISTM that a society which forces people to work at the margin like this is going to reap a harvest of questionable quality.
