Isn't everything preventable with the benefit of hindsight?
- andreasvc 14y agoWho knows. Perhaps if we could go back and prevent something we would cause another accident somewhere else.
- DougWebb 14y agoI think the key is that they already had the hindsight years before the accident occurred. They knew, from incidents at other plants and from tsunamis in other areas that the assumtions made when the plant was designed were wrong and the plant was vulnerable. They chose not to act on that knowledge.
- mikeash 14y agoNot really. The large number of deaths caused directly by the tsunami weren't preventable, unless you're willing to permanently desettle the coast.
