We should bear in mind that this is a family who cared so much about their employees that they sank their own business. The man could have kept going on a risk and a wing and a prayer that nothing might ever happen. He put the safety of his crew above everything else. I lost a business and my house and I know what it is like, but it was my fault. This was not his fault. The man has operated above any level that would be expected of him, and the least we can do as a nation is stand behind him. I know that the Departments’ advice is that if we fix this one, hundreds more will come behind it, but that is never an excuse.
